Re: Spring 3.0.0 M2 - a show stopper for me

Vernon,

Note that the user mailing list is deprecated... We are not actively monitoring it anymore. We are generally redirecting people to the forums now.

As for the Tiles problem: In Spring 3.0, we have removed support for the Tiles version that came with the old Struts 1.x branch, which we covered in the "org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles" package.

Since Spring 2.5, we have support for Tiles 2 in the "org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2" package. This is the only branch of Tiles that we keep supporting. Unfortunately this is just compatible with Tiles 2.0.x at present, due to a backwards compatibility breakage in the Tiles 2.1 codebase (which arrived way after Spring 2.5).

We will update the "org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2" support to Tiles 2.1 for the Spring 3.0 RC1 release (scheduled for May), requiring Tiles 2.1 or above then - which is why we can only do this in a new Spring major version. Here is the JIRA issue to track: http://jira.springframework.org/browse/SPR-5411

I generally recommend searching JIRA when encountering a compatibility problem. Chances are good that it has been reported already (like in this case) and that we already scheduled a fix.

I don't know why the Spring team is silent on this subject. Does that mean that Spring MVC will no longer support Tiles? While I understand the Spring team have more important issues to handle, I do think that Spring team shall get the Spring user community informed on integration issues like this one. BTW, after sent out this email, I learn the latest 2.5 version (2.5.6) doesn't support the latest Tiles 2 (2.1).

I need to add some new functionality to existing Spring application. I think it would be good to use the REST support from Spring 3 MVC. After replacing the Spring jar files to the version 3, I find the org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles.ComponentControllerSupport doesn't exist in either the org.springframework.web-3.0.0.M2.jar nor org.springframework.web.servlet-3.0.0.M2.jar.



Unlike any previous Spring releases, there isn't a reference documentation in the Spring package. I can't find any related information to solve the problem.



Is only me with the issue?
