It seems that this idea is really about moving Tiles' Controller concept into the Struts core. Tiles Controllers are one of the main reasons I use that package and I like the idea of incorporating that concept into the core so that non-Tiles users can benefit. It just makes a lot of sense to attach view preparation behavior directly to the view instead of dispersed throughout every Action that happens to forward to that view.
