You're talking about writing your own Tiles-like implementation ? I guess there's a lot of downsides to this - else everyone in here wouldn't be using Struts as his base framework, too - but write his own Webapp framework. Furthermore you're free to extend Tiles to suit your needs - that's the big advantage of OpenSource. > 2) While using the Tiles+Struts, is it possible to put forward an action > to a real JSP file rather than a Tiles definition? Would it (Tiles > request processor) know the difference? Quoted from the JavaDoc: <quote> This processor subclasses the Struts RequestProcessor in order to intercept calls to forward or include. When such calls are done, the Tiles processor checks if the specified URI is a definition name. If true, the definition is retrieved and included. If false, the original URI is included or a forward is performed. </quote> If you're interested in a very detailed description of the inner workings and features of Tiles I strongly suggest you to read this PDF written by the author of Tiles: http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/tilesAdvancedFeatures.pdf HTH, Yann > Thanks, > Erez --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
