Eelco, I'd be interested in learning more about Tiles and/or a Maverick alternative. I'd like to Maverick benefit from java HTML controls to handle form layout, form validation, etc. JSTL is an amazing improvement over what has been available in the past, but it still goes only so far--and for those of us who have to live with Servlet 2.2 :(, it goes no where at all.
ArsDigita (now RedHat CCM) had rather fully developed architecture for this called BeBop, but it may be too tied into their own system to pull out. Some have also suggested that though complete, it may be overly complex for most work. (cf. http://ccm.redhat.com/doc/core-platform/5.0/infrastructure/presentation/doc/ bebop-developers-guide.html) Anyway, I was glad to see Zed's FormProc post. I'll be interested to see his example when it becomes available. What else are people using on the presentation layer besides Velocity / XSLT tranforms, etc?

Personally I've been pretty happy just using the document transform - but it's probably more limited than what you're looking for.

At this moment we are using Struts (and Tiles) as our standard MVC tool. I would like to migrate the project I just started working to use Maverick right away. But... although I saw some old postings (like http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00333.html) discussing using composite views, it is not clear to me if someone actually came up with a solid 'final' idea how to tackle Tiles-like stuff. And as you might have guessed, we are using Tiles a lot, and I have to come up with very good arguments to convince the other guys (struts fans) to use something else than Struts/ Tiles. Actually, the configuration horror of Tiles is -the- reason that I would like to try Maverick, but that's the configuration only; I like the stuff you can do with it. Did someone solve this (or has a good idea how to)? .: Eelco **************************************************************************** This email may contain confidential material.
