A couple of questions about Tiles,
When I downloaded the binary distribution I did not see the
tiles-tutorial.war file and was therefore missing some of the files
necessary to go through your tutorial. Am I missing something in the
distribution, or was the tutorial removed.
Secondly, when I attempt to run both the tiles-docs application and the
tiles-channel application I got an exception with the following message:
"Tag Insert : Can't get component definition 'mainLayout'. Check if this
name exist in component definitions."
I simply placed the war files in the webapps directory of my tomcat server
to deploy them.
thanks for the help.
Dave

Subject: Re: dynamic template tag parameter values
You can do something like :
<template:put name="sidebar" content='<%= "/jsps/sidemenu"+ clientName+
".jsp"%>'/>
But you certainly have to put some processing before to check if the
clientName is valid.
Also, you can check Tiles contribution for others ideas. For example, you
can
adapt the channels example to fit your client names.
