RE: Question on view node in maverick.xml

Since a "type" attribute was not specified for the transform node, it
uses the default transform type.  I'm assuming that it's "document".

 

What will happen is that the output of welcome.jsp is converted to a
String and placed in the request attributes with the key "wrapped".
Then trimOutside.jsp is executed and written to the output.

 

Yes, in some ways this is like tiles, but it's a lot simpler.  If you
like tiles, use it.  I don't.

 

Keep in mind that this is only one type of transform... others include
XSL, DVSL, FOP, Perl, or anything you care to write, and you can chain
them together.

Subject: [Mav-user] Question on view node in maverick.xml

 

                <command name="welcome"> 
                        <view path="welcome.jsp"> 
                                <transform path="trimOutside.jsp"/> 
                        </view> 
                </command> 

I don't understand what the transform piece does in the view node above.
It seems to act like tiles sort of, if this is true then is there any
reason to use the above syntax instead of tiles itself?

Thanks
