Korbinian, Sitemesh is excellent and it's already used by Equinox.
With Sitemesh there is no configuration file that you need to constantly add to each time a new page is added to the site. If I recall, there are only 3 files that need to be setup and one of the is simply adding a servlet filter to web.xml. Setup is done once at the beginning to configure things and you never touch it again unless you want to modify your layout. http://www.opensymphony.com/sitemesh On 3/15/06, Korbinian Bachl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If you *shudder* at tiles, whats your solution for that problem then ? - > if > you, say, want to build a web-newspaper and have only in 1 place defined > the > look ?
