After using Site Mesh for a little while it’s a lot easier to use over tiles.
works very well with struts also.+1
Will MyEclipse support SiteMesh the near future? I’m asking because we’ve also started switching new developments from Struts tiles to SiteMesh.Victor,
This has been the only request for it, so at this point I would say no. If the requests for it pick up, then we will look into it.+1
I’d think sitemesh support would be pretty easy to add… not sure though. Definitely a lot easier than tiles!+1
Not only is it easier to work with than Tiles, but it’s the logical compliment to JSF (Tiles does not work with JSF as elegantly). I’ve wanted SiteMesh for a while.One feature I’d like is for pages in the ‘design view’ of the Struts/JSF visual editors to show what template the page is associated with. I’ll try to demonstrate with some crappy ascii art:
A JSP called customerProfile uses a Tile layout (or SiteMesh template) called loggedInTemplate.jsp
|----------------------------------------| | loggedInTemplate.jsp | | |--------------------------------------------| | | customerProfile.jsp | |--| url: /pages/customerProfile.jsp | |--------------------------------------------|//Donald//
Oh, and naturally you can right click on pages in the design view, select an ‘Associate with Template…’ option which then brings up a dialog showing all templates in your Tiles/SiteMesh config file so you can do the association…
🙂
Gee, it’s certainly easy for us customers to dream up new features
🙂Donald thank you for the detail, I will pitch the idea of Sitemesh to the team and see what they think.
