Template-Engine for Struts

Question

Freemarker, Tiles oder Velocity? Which template engine is the best for a multi-user-system build with struts?

Answer 1

I would recommend to use both tiles and velocity. They play nice together.

Answer 2

If using Struts 1.x, then Tiles and Velocity work well together. If using Struts 2, then either Freemarker, since Struts 2 has thus far done a poor job of integrating Velocity (as of Oct 2008).

Answer 3

I use struts 2 with Freemarker and it works very well. I use sitemesh rather than tiles. I used tiles in a struts 1.3 project and while it was fantastic it was limited. I know that it has evolved since but have not yet tried it in a project.
