Hi, if using tiles, you get some overhead with it. What comes along with this fact, you have to use jsp in combination with tiles (or better; tiles in combination with jsp), which seems little bit outfashioned in comparison to the well-jsf-fitting facelets view technology.
So that`s the main point; Matze and Werner are more fans of the well with jsf working facelets (which does perform much more than jsp+tiles). Apart from this, migrating from jsp to facelets isn`t that extensive. In the simplest way you only have to replace the doc-headers and do little config work. However, future versions of myfaces would support tiles as long as jsp needs tiles to do templating. And that should meet all your needs. cheers, Gerald On 11/6/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I use MyFaces with Tiles in two projects and I'm quite happy with it. It does what I expect with no troubles! Recently, I read some statements from members of the MyFaces team (Werner Punz, Matthias Wessendorf) which take the view that using Tiles in context of JSF is a bad idea (with no explanation why) Could one of the MyFaces comitters give a statement why using of Tiles is not recommended? What are the drawbacks of Tiles when I only need a templating tool? Is the Tiles integration in future MyFaces versions guaranteed? I agree that the facelets framework is more powerful than Tiles but I think that the porting of an existing MyFaces Application to facelets is not as easy. Isn't it?
