    After countless hours just making things works, it occurred to me that just maybe there is a way to design real-world web pages in a WYSIWYG fashion using this nuclear powered tool! What I’m talking about are web pages “tiles” that are composed into a whole at run-time. These page fragments have tags and style sheets that are “referenced” via taglib/link in the “container” page. Is there a way to work on these page parts on their own and see/preview the changes? I know there is limited support for Struts 1.x tags, but I am using JSTL, Struts 2.x and CSS classes.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Scott,

    Unfortunately the designer is not tiles-aware at this time, so working on those pieces might yield strange looking visual results. One way to work around this, and something a lot of other visual frameworks use (not sure if tiles has this) is a way to mark a portion of the HTML in the page as the “real” HTML that gets used as the tile itself. So you are free to actually have a full normal HTML page to design (so the designer is happy) but you mark a small subset of it as the actual tile that gets inserted at runtime.
