Hi all this is a rant against myself :-D I just discovered that I did the Velocity support in the wrong way, since I somewhat forced the concept of Tool in Velocity to become a tag. In fact, I noticed that the best way to write the corresponding concept of tag in Velocity into custom *directives*. For this reason I opened this issue: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/TILES-490
Note that the VelocityStyleTilesTool is ok, since it is a *real* tool: http://tiles.apache.org/framework/apidocs/org/apache/tiles/velocity/template/VelocityStyleTilesTool.html Now the question is: what should we do with the "Tiles2Tool" that is a chimera between a tool and a tag? http://tiles.apache.org/framework/apidocs/org/apache/tiles/velocity/template/Tiles2Tool.html IMHO the best thing to do is to delete it, though we released a beta version of the 2.2 series. What do you think? Antonio
