Hi I tried your recipe, but it does not seem to work. It really excited me with the parameter substitution, which looks a lot like what I have been testing with Facelets. I am looking to replace Tiles with either Clay of Facelets, so it would be nice to verify that the Clay way of doing templating does actually work.
Facelets does work except for one thing: It does not include html comments from the Template (which i really need - Include (IE5) hidden Style) When I try to access page1.faces, it complains about not finding page1.jsp. It does not seem to want to look for page1.xml.

I've been holding off on Clay documentation for a couple reasons. I've been spending most of my time with features and I'm also holding out on some help (someone currently working on a couple of books besides speaking at the NFJS :-). > On 11/28/05, Alexandre Poitras <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I am trying to get a grasp on Struts Clay.
