Struts 2: Designing faceted search - a general architecture/design issue

2008-03-03 Thread Magnus
Hi, Does anyone have any experience using Struts 2 to implement a web app that provides faceted search? (Using Lucene/LARQ etc.) I'm wondering what the best approach is, using SiteMesh/Tiles ie, when it comes to the architecture/design of the web app. The basic idea is to provide the user with a
