MyFaces 1.2.3 and Tiles 2

[Hugo Lam]

Does anyone have any experience in using MyFaces 1.2.3 and Tiles 2? I am getting the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/struts/tile/DefinitionsFactoryException. Looked at the implementation of the provided JspTilesViewHandlerImpl in MyFaces 1.2.3, it seems to still depend on the Struts version of Tiles. Any idea if its feasible to use both? I know there is a TilesViewHandler that seems to work in the JSF RI, however, I am using Tomahawk, anyone has any experience using JSF RI 1.2 with Tomahawk and Tiles 2? Appreciate any suggestions and helps!

Thanks,
Hugo

Hello. I am currently working on it. You need the latest tomahawk snapshot (tomahawk-1.1.7-SNAPSHOT.jar) and these configurations in web.xml:

 <context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>tiles-extension</param-name>
<param-value>.tiles</param-value>
</context-param>   

faces-config.xml (in <application>)

  <view-handler>org.apache.myfaces.tomahawk.application.jsp.JspTilesTwoViewHandlerImpl</view-handler>  

My problem is that I have to create a jsp page for every tiles definition because the tiles definitions cannot be simply called by URL...
