In newer projects we are using Tiles3. There are occasions when we use Freemarker instead of JSP but that is rare. I really love the new tiles-annotations that struts provides. With that I can reduce the size of tiles.xml to a minimum and annotate actions instead :) Regards, Christoph This Email was scanned by Sophos Anti Virus --=_alternative 002DC0EDC1257FE1_=--
