I read a rumor that said Tiles will become its own top-level subproject in Jakarta. Is that true?
There was considerable discussion about this on the dev list about a month ago. The intention first is to refactor Tiles to demonstrate that it is independent of the Struts core. Whether it continues to live as a Struts sub-project, move to an Apache TLP, a Jakarta TLP, or to Source Forge, Java.net, or any place else seems open, as far as I can tell.
Also, I think Tiles is great, but I find it very annoying to litter every JSP page with <tiles> tags to decorate my pages. While it makes sense to put the tile definitions in XML when I do Struts development, sometimes JSP needs to be accessed directly. Is there (or will be) any mechanism (like a filter) to can automatically decorate JSP (ala SiteMesh)?
If you like SiteMesh, why not use SiteMesh? Is there something that needs to be done to make it integrate better with Struts? If not, I don't see any reason to re-invent the wheel.
