Agreed! I faced the same problem with SAIF. My first implementation 
ended up with two RequestProcessors: one default and one derived from 
TilesRequestProcessor. Unfortunately there is now real clean solution 
due to the bad design of the API. In order to "wrap" any possible other 
RequestController I ended up with using CGLIB ...
