Hi Orlando,

Well, one thing to consider is that since all knowledge of a frame tends to 
be restricted to a jsp page rendering, I'd do all routing on the jsp page 
level.  Then you can render the appropriate transitions to point to the 
various frames.  Expresso's TransitionTag will not be able to help you, but 
I think a <bean:define name="linkUrl" property="YourTransitionName.url" 
type="java.lang.String"/> along with a link anchor could do what you want.

HTH!
