I modified the ActionServlet (might not be necessary - need to investigate the dynamic
module config stuff further), created a new TilesDefinitionFactory and changed a few
other bits and made tiles extract all of its definitions from a database. I also
implemented a cache mechanism as a Java servlet so that database access was minimal.
This was all because I need a site that was truly dynamic, whilst running on a cluster
of servers.

Wow, that's pretty cool ... I'll have to check out the controllerClass
