I'd like to implement the ability to load tiles definitions from the
classpath in addition to from the servlet/portlet context. I'm curious
about implementation choices:
1) Add the support to the current ServletTilesContext and
PortletTilesContext through a standard base class and/or ResourceLoader.
This is probably the way to go if class loader loading of definitions
will be considered a standard feature. It would be my first choice.
2) Add a new context which decorates and delegates to any other
TilesContext and provides a way to configure which context should be
used. This approach would be beneficial if loading from the class path
should be considered optional.
Either implementation will result in a modification to the TilesContext
interface - the getResource() method will need to be replaced with a
Enumeration<URL> getResources() or similar method.
Additionally, what are people's thoughts about wildcard handling for the
resource definitions files. Is this a feature others are interested in?
(For those wondering, these features are especially useful when using
freemarker and bundling the ftl templates in different jars).
thanks for the opinions,
David
