Hello Craig:
Well, this is Friday so we can take it easy on the debate between Struts and Jsf. This is about Struts-Shale, Jsf and Tiles.
First, thank you for your contributions in CoR commons-chain and Shale. I had some time to re-visit shale and have successfully implemented shale as a servlet filter, its view controller with myfaces JspTilesViewHandlerImpl, and DialogController. Some questions:
1) The logon Dialog demonstrates an implementation of DialogController using hard-coded methods as entry points. Is there any thought of a generic Dialog bean whose actions and processes are assembled on-demand via CoR/IoC?
2) Association between view id and viewController is quite handy. I am able to associate each view id, assembled from complex tiles fragments, with a specialized viewController that pull part of the data from a dialogController. All tiles fragment use Jsf <f:subview>. Now moving to the shale <s:subview>, is it intended to replace jsf <f:subview> if more than 1 fragments requires viewController? I have not tested this case with myfaces tile viewHandler. I think i should wait for shale custom ViewHandler that works with tiles.
3) If <s:subview> is intended to replace <f:subview> to work with tiles, can it be done in such a way that each request needs to instantiate only 2 request-scope viewControllers for 2 fragments (portlet menu and its display fragments depending on which portlet user clicks)?
