Substitute for Tiles in JSF?

[Bobsparks]

Hello

I am working on a refactor. The project handles some trather stright
forward business, but the previous authors decided to use a best of
breed or so they thought amalgam of frameworks. They used Spring,
Struts Tiles Hibernate and JSF. The trouble is new people coming to
the project need to spend weeks coming up to speed on all the open
source technologies. So I am endeavoring to reduce the number of
frameworks I want to keep JSF as I see this as the future of Web
development. Hibernate I believe we may keep.

Spring is easy to get rid of just use the JSF controller. But tiles!
should we use a frameset or use JSP includes? Or does someone know of
a Set of JSF controls that can replace Tiles? Facelets seems a bit of
overkill.

Suggestions any one?

Bob

You could spcify your JSFs in <tiles:insert> tags.
