Hi,

just having a question about Tiles and the Portlet-Spec.

Tiles aims to reduce the work to develop
composite-webpages. which are modular and reusable!

The Portlet-Spec defines a standard incl. Portlet-Container.
A RI is in develop --> http://jakarta.apache.org/pluto


In Pluto-Docs found this about Portlets:

"In contrast to servlets, portlets may not do things like sending
redirects or errors to browsers directly, forwarding requests or writing
arbitrary markup to the output stream to assure that they don� t
distract the portal web application which uses them."

okay, forwarding etc. in Struts is done by our ActionServlet.

"Another difference compared to servlets is that portlets rely on portal
specific infrastructure functions such as access to user profile
information, standard interface for storing/retrieving persistent
settings, getting client information, etc. Generally, portlets are
administrated more dynamically than servlets typically are."

This functionality should be done in user-action-classes.
My Tiles are also nice to administrate :-)


Now my question:
is tiles familiar to JSR 168 ? or will it move to JSR-168 compilant?
Or is it "just" an "easy and small" way for a composite-page?

Thanks!

Matthias
