action forward to real jsps under Tiles
I am new to Tiles:
1) What are the downsides over writing your own?
2) While using the Tiles+Struts, is it possible to put forward an action
to a real JSP file rather than a Tiles definition? Would it (Tiles
request processor) know the difference?
Thanks,
Erez

You're talking about writing your own Tiles-like implementation ? I
guess
there's a lot of downsides to this - else everyone in here wouldn't be
using
Struts as his base framework, too - but write his own Webapp framework.
Furthermore you're free to extend Tiles to suit your needs - that's the
big
advantage of OpenSource.

Quoted from the JavaDoc:
<quote>
This processor subclasses the Struts RequestProcessor in order to
intercept
calls to forward or include. When such calls are done, the Tiles
processor
checks if the specified URI is a definition name. If true, the
definition is
retrieved and included. If false, the original URI is included or a
forward
is performed.
