Commons chain?
Hi all,
I was thinking about including Commons Chain in Tiles 2.1. In
particular, it will be useful for:
- replacing ChainedTilesContextFactory, that is, in fact a CoR object;
- using multiple chained DefinitionDao, for example to try to load
first from definition URL, then from patterned (with wildcard)
definition, then from a db.
- for view preparers, where they can be "commands" of Commons Chain.
Thoughts?
Antonio

There is already an issue that involves the use of commons-chain, just
if you want to take a look ;-)

Thinking on it a second time, I think that the introduction of Commons
Chain could be done in a Tiles 3.0 version, so we can use the chain in
every aspect of the process.
IMO I see currently Tiles 2.1 as Tiles 2.0 with more features.
Introducing Chain will change how definitions are got and used.

I agree on all points. I use chain quite a lot and find it very
useful. Maybe it's something I can actually help with :-)
