Struts2: should we use Tiles or Sitemesh?
Hi,
We're just migrating to Struts2, and we're trying to decide between Tiles and Sitemesh.
We've noticed that struts distribution (2.0.9) includes jars for both frameworks.
Could anyone please tell if one of them is recommended over the other, or serves as "standard de-facto" for Struts2 ?
Does one of them have better functionality, better design, better fit to the Struts2 architecture, etc?
And would you happen to know if they're both still in active development?
Thanks a lot.

I would choose sitemesh too beacause I found it more powerful, but I
would not choose it for speed !
I think that jsp includes are a lost more fast than page parsing ...

You might also consider Tiles-2 but not using the S2 plugin. Then you aren't
limited by the need to declare the <result type=""> attribute. This leaves
you free to do other things with the 'type', like jsf, for instance.

Sol, I think they're both great and your should try both out You need
to decide which is more suitable for each application you're building.
If you use a lot of similar pages you'll appreciate the decorator
approach used by sitemesh. If you reuse a lot of components within a
page (and ajax) you'll appreciate tiles and the tiles result.
Both are more productive and elegant than using plain-old JSPs and includes.

My recommendation is sitemesh. Absolutly.
Sitemesh uses servlet filters to decorate pages (faster), while tiles
uses jsp includes (slower).
