Tiles + WebWork
I'd like to use Tiles with WebWork for reasons outlined on my blog:
http://raibledesigns.com/page/rd?entry=large_sites_powered_by_java
I'm able to get the Tiles tag library to work, because it's
essentially JSPs loading other JSPs at that point. Creating a
tiles-config.xml file is a much better solution IMO - then you don't
need to create JSP-loading JSPs.
I tried to get WebWork + Tiles working (using a nightly build), but no
dice. The TilesFilter doesn't seem to load the definitions, so I tried
using both the TilesServlet and the TilesFilter. TilesFilter is mapped
to *.tile and all my view names in xwork.xml map to viewname.tile. I'm
guessing the problem is WebWork communicating the name of the tiles
definition to the filter.
Is it possible to integrate these two frameworks?
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
Just as an addendum, I have plans to eventually implement a listener
to handle the stuff being done by TilesServlet now. Unfortunately,
It's a pretty good ways down the list, which you can see here:
http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StandaloneTiles. I'm hoping very soon
to actually have some time to start working this list.

Thank you!! I'll take a look at it as soon as possible.

Here's a TilesListener that works for me. It could probably use some
polishing and a unit test, but it works for me.

:) Ummm, so you recommend that a "small prototype should be done in
2-3 frameworks" because no single framework dominates the ~marketing~
landscape? :)
Seriously, hype aside, engineer to engineer, if we can use the new
standalone Tiles with WebWork, and use Ajax to store the state of UI
controls, what else do we need to do to make WebWork/Action 2 the best
framework for *everything*?

What would we need to put on the Action2/WebWork roadmap so that it is
the best for everything?

+1 and an amen to that, brother.
BTW, the blog also asks about large-volume sites done with Struts and
especially Struts with Tiles. What about JRoller? Is not Roller using
Struts 1.2 and Tiles?
