["Mck SembWever (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TREQ-17?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13661845#comment-13661845 ] 

Mck SembWever commented on TREQ-17:
-----------------------------------

What's the way forward with this?

1) bring the [git commit|https://github.com/nlebas/tiles-request/commit/83e1854] into svn trunk
1A) introduce a stripped down tiles-request-spring that includes [SpringResourceLocator|https://github.com/nlebas/tiles-request/commit/773885a#diff-6]
2) test it and release tiles-request-1.1 (and tiles-3.1)
3) request spring to include SpringResourceLocator [here1https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-framework/tree/master/spring-webmvc-tiles3/src/main/java/org/springframework/web/servlet/view/tiles3]
4) wait for next release of spring-webmvc-tiles3
5A) remove/deprecate tiles-request
 
Together 1A & 5A are optional.
But the next commit (based off [this|https://github.com/michaelsembwever/tiles-request/commit/0403f48]) to [deprecate|http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.tiles.devel/542] tiles-request-serlvet-wilcard and tiles-request-portlet-wildcard waits on either 1A+2 or 4.

>    Affects Versions: 1.0.1
>            Reporter: Nicolas Le Bas
>
> Tiles Request is not extensible enough when it comes to resource loading. We have some code to get resources from the ServletContext, from the Classpath, from Spring, but all of these are excluding each other because of the way it is implemented, and in some situation the code is duplicated. 
> We should use a new interface to locate ApplicationResources, and the ApplicationContext could delegate getResources() to a collection of ResourceLocators.
