I've completed the API for TilesContext and added implementations for
Servlet and Portlet environments. I did it in a rather sinister way
by copying much of the WebContext code from Commons Chain. I wasn't
really sure what is the best approach for "using" portions of another
Apache project without actually depending on that code. It doesn't
seem right for Tiles to have a dependency on Commons Chain simply to
use its WebContext structure. Besides, the TilesContext is actually
a bit of a hybrid between Chain's WebContext and JSF's
ExternalContext. Please let me know if I've somehow broken
protocol. Ultimately, I'm seeing the need for a common environment
abstraction API. SAF1, SAF2, Tiles, MyFaces, Chain, and others could
probably use such a thing. At any rate, let me know your thoughts.
Unless changes are needed to TilesContext, the API refactoring for
Tiles is largely complete. If there is consensus on the current API
the next step towards a release is simply testing. I've got some
apps to build :-)
