I think that this will work for you. here is a nested tile in the body. some of my pages require a bordered box around the content, so the bordered box is a tile called .borderedContent. Shown below is a relevant excerpt from tiles-defs.xml, then the borderedcontent.jsp, and then the about page, which uses the basic layout with a nested tile.

I would like to have a nested tile inside of my body.jsp. For example I have a definition. And typically I override it as such But what if I would like in some situations to have an include in the "body". Say I would like to use One Jsp page but would like to, from the Struts-config, call that same page but have different forms inserted depending on the situations. So, I would have possibly two definitions like this. My assumption (thus far wrong) was that I could insert the "form" inside my differentBody.jsp. But when I run it, my differentBody.jsp fails claiming it can't find "form". Is this because I don't have "form" defined in my mainLayout? I have tried to define it there even going so far as to have the body use a "put" with the layout.jsp. Am I way off track here for something that seems to me a simple task? Is this even the right place to post this question? Thanks.
