Re: [Springframework-developer] Adding Tiles to CVS...

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

Can I suggest that the build produce another variant of Spring which 
doesn't include the Spring mvc stuff or code like this Tiles support, 
but does includethe non web-framework specific but web related classes? 
I am talking about things like WebApplicationContextUtils.  I am 
(happily) using Spring with the Apache Tapestry framework. 
WebApplicationContext, WebApplicationContextUtils, and other generic 
classes which make the spring container more usable in a servlet 
environment are useful to me, but I don't want to bring in other baggage 
like the Spring web MVC stuff, or now the Tiles support.

Also, I find Tapestry to be a very good web framework, which works at a 
much higher level (component-based) than most web ui frameworks. Is 
there interest in adding a document into Spring describing how to best 
use Spring with Tapestry?  The cleanest mechnism (allowing you to access 
Spring context properties declaratively from Tapestry pages) is not 
necessarilly that intuitive to figure out, so I think my 
experimentation/work would be useful to other people.

Regards,
Colin
