Ken McWilliams commented on WW-4161:
------------------------------------

For people thinking of using Tiles it should be noted that this
demonstrates the annotation functionality, and not the minimal way of using
tiles 3 with Struts2.
>From memory, so this might not be exactly right:

But instead of MUTABLE
(org.apache.tiles.factory.TilesContainerFactory.MUTABLE), COMPLETE is used
the Tiles3 has access to OGNL expressions among other ELs.

The demo should then be able to remove the annotations by changing the
following tiles.xml:
        <put-attribute name="titleMsgKey" value=".titleMsgKey" />
        <put-attribute name="content" value=".content" />

then becomes:

        <put-attribute name="titleMsgKey" value="OGNL:titleMsgKey" />
        <put-attribute name="content" value="OGNL:content" />

And it will pull the values right out of the value stack. The annotations
are valuable (they must be used if not using "COMPLETE"), the reason for
this comment is that there are few formal struts2 tiles3 integration
documents and I wouldn't want people to think this was minimal. Someone
will think they need to manually bind data when using tiles if this option
isn't provided.

> It would be good if the struts2 website could turn the following into a tutorial, possibly some of the code could be included into the tile3 plugin but I'm not convinced at this time that should be done.
