I _think_ that discussion leaned towards keeping 'insert'.
* Attributes "template=" and "component=" were changed to "page=" -
because we specify the page to insert. Tiles is more than a
templating mechanism, and the inserted page is not necessary a
template :-). Maybe we can use "tile=" now that tile is a very
well established name.
This is http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SB-21 . I like the
idea of switching to 'tile'. The original comments seemed to indicate
that 'template' was the preferred one. I would have picked
'component'. (To me 'page' is the entire composition, not a piece of
it.)
How does this affect the DTD, which has template, path and page? I
end up horribly confused every time I try to make the TLD and the DTD
match up. The DTD changes are on SB-30:
http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SB-30
* The controllers were added to allows stand alone use of tiles to
be able to do some kind of computation associated to the tiles.
When used with Struts, there is a redundancy (with the use of
actions), but when used alone, the controller mechanism is very
useful to separate view rendering from controller business
I opened SB-52 for this. http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SB-52
It is true that Tiles2 gives us the opportunity to remove all the
redundancies, but we have to take care to not fall again into the
previous mistakes :-)
Once again, that my feeling after reading some of the mails, and maybe I
have missed something in the discussions.
Thanks for speaking up! It helps to have someone who knows the
history of why certain decisions were made. :)
