| |
| <p>Tiles has served the purpose of rendering views for the Model-View-Controller pattern in JavaEE for years.</p> |
| <p>Tiles-3 introduces a complete standalone and super simple abstraction around request/response objects. |
| <p>We've all seen that the various technologies like Servlet, Portlet, JSP, Velocity, FreeMarker seem to have a different abstraction of a common pattern. |
| They all have a concept of:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>request: the client request, or some sort of it;</li> |
| <li>response: the response to send to the client, or to the caller, with a writer/output stream to write into;</li> |
| <li>attributes: usually maps (or map-like structures) with string keys and object values;</li> |
| <li>scope: places where different attribute maps are stored (request, session, etc.)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Now all of these scopes are concentrated into "Request" interfaces, that acts as a single point of reference for the developer. |
| In theory, everything you need for rendering a view can be obtained by an object that implements Request, and Request implementations can be built that do not rely on an application server environment.</p> |
| <p> </p> |
| <p>Currently there are bindings for Servlet, Portlet, JSP, Mustache, Velocity and FreeMarker.</p></p> |
