I see your point. I guess first i wanted to just see the diff that branch had to offer over the multiple commits and github doesn't give you this.

This is what i'm struggling to see in actual implementation form. What can just be done (and usually is) in an mvc's control layer you now forcing Request to implement... Isn't it the response that should be answering such a question? Isn't the request more in charge of actually asking (or giving the context of) the question... For example having "long age = request.getAge()", basically a inversion of control to what you've suggested if it's at all applicable (your analysis so far of tiles-3 puts you in a better position to answer that i think). > We could also imagine a "CachingRenderer" with a > "CachingRequestWrapper", caching HTML fragments for performance (ehcache > has a solution to do it using ServletFilters, but... let's just say I > think tiles can do a better job of it). Ok. now you have me really interested! if you can provide a prototype of this you definitely got me on-board. ~mck -- "The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth." | http://tech.finn.no | http://github.com/finn-no |
