David, I don't have any exceptionally long files. I remember Rick Reumann saying on this list too that he dumped SiteMesh in favor of Tiles because of the buffering problem. I never heard of anyone running Tiles/SiteMesh together, although it is feasible.
Maybe I will just stick to creating tile definitions for my pages. It can't hurt - but I wish someone from the Struts team could tackle my question too. Someone must have professionally encountered the same problem I have. Thanks. --- "David G.
