Same here. I've been following the thread just out of curiosity, wondering why we've had no problems with our JSF/Tiles integration, considering several such applications are running fine in production.
I guess I'll have to take a look at the referenced 2005 JavaOne presentation to see why our implementation has been so smooth. Maybe our applications are not complicated enough to encounter the problems others have been having. - Brendan -----Original Message----- From: Bjørn T Johansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 4:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: JSF and Tiles On Fri, 24 Mar 2006 19:59:45 +0100 Werner Punz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Greg Reddin wrote: > > > > On Mar 24, 2006, at 9:15 AM, Murat Hazer wrote: > > > >> Is there a good tutorial introduces tiles and usage of it with JSF, > >> or is there any other good templating framework for JSF? > > > > > > If you'/re starting from scratch with no knowledge of Tiles, I'd > > recommend starting with Facelets or Clay.

I am running JSF and Tiles and have no problem using them together; am I doing something wrong? :) Regards, BTJ
