Meanwhile, David Geary, who was the original author of the template library,
went on to develop the Regions library, which he describes in his book,
"Advanced JavaServer Pages". At one point, there was some discussion of
David and Cedric working together to combine the best of Regions and Tiles,
but as far as I'm aware, nothing came of that.

We, David and me, are in contact. We should soon start working on a common proposal for a next major version of JSTL.


At this point, the template library is really only meaningful for backwards
compatibility. Tiles is the focus, going forward. My understanding is that
the degree of compatibility between the two is such that simply changing the
taglib directive at the top of a JSP page to reference Tiles instead of
template is all that is needed to switch over to Tiles.

Right, you can use Tiles in place of Templates by simply changing the taglib directive.

What's the deal with the struts template library? I haven't used it but it seems to have many features that Tiles has. Tiles seems more developed however. Are there any plans for template?
