Speaking about the API: I was trying to add a new attribute type to Tiles2 and I've found that this is not a trivial task?
In fact you cannot do it :-)
I mean, I can find all the places to tweak, but I'm a little bit scared of changing BasicTilesContainer.
Why are you scared? I guess it doesn't bite :-) Jokes apart, what exactly are going to accomplish? We can help you achieving your objectives if you tell us what they are.
I was wondering if it would be possible to change an implementation in the way that each attribute is responsible for rendering itself. I know this is quite a change, but I was wondering if such a design was ever considered.
I did not originally create the container, but I think that David (the one that created it) thought about other frameworks. Correct me if I am wrong, but, for example, in JSF the component does not render itself, but a "renderer" renders it.
Basically, my goal is to add a new type of attribute and not to rewrite to much chunks of Tiles2.
What is your attribute type and what does it represent? Antonio
