Re: Using Tiles 2.2 with myfaces/tomahawk

[rada <ta...@specyal.com>]

I was trying to combine myfaces with tiles 2.1 and the same result.

I have a working Tiles project and a working MyFaces project



The result is xml hell with of course large number of cryptic impossible to
understand errors.

One should create a XML free Java. It took 6 years for J2EE to realize that
deployment descriptors were a total failure. 

LOL Wake up people.


Just in case anybody managed to integrate without writing 100 lines of
obscure XML that will come back to haunt us please let me know.

CHeers,
TADA

Hi you are describing exactly the reason why people have been moving to 
facelets in the jsf realm several years ago.
My recommendation is simply forget about Tiles use Facelets.
It does the same and more as tiles, and comes natively with JSF 2.0
as new templating/rendering layer.

So people have woken up quite a while ago :-)
