I finally got a tiled page to display after trying a multitude of server and jar versions as well as defining the correct tile contents with appropriate jsf tags and attributes and getting past an IllegalStateException caused by incorrectly having a view tag wrapping the contents of a tile that was being inserted. I learned the hard way that there can only be one---view tag pair per page---and that inserted tiles are, of course, part of a single page (obvious now, but trees vs. forest bit me).
At this point however I have not succeeded in accomplishing what you describe below in your index.jsp page where you forward directly to an extended tile. I can't seem to get it to work. I have the following test setup: index.jsp: ..................................................................................................................................................... <!-- jsp:forward page="/contentPage.faces"/ --> <jsp:forward page="/tiles/layouts/loadLayout.faces"/> ..................................................................................................................................................... The commented out line above fails. The uncommented line above works. I also tried the commented out line both with and without the leading slash, although the TilesViewHandler javadoc states that the slash is not needed. /tiles/layouts/loadLayout.jsp: ..................................................................................................................................................... <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles" %> <f:view> <tiles:insert name="/contentPage" flush="false" type="definition"/> </f:view> ..................................................................................................................................................... /tiles/layouts/siteLayout.jsp: ..................................................................................................................................................... <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; prefix="h" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles" %> <html lang="en"> <tiles:insert name="htmlHeader" flush="false"/> <body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" style="margin:0;padding:0"> <tiles:insert name="content" flush="false"/> <h:outputText value="Enter something here: "/> <h:inputText/> </body> </html> ..................................................................................................................................................... /tiles/htmlHeaderTile.jsp: ..................................................................................................................................................... <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; prefix="h" %> <head> <base href="http://localhost:8080/tilestest3";> <title><h:outputText value="This is a title."/></title> <meta name="keywords" content="keyword1 keyword2"> <title><h:outputText value="Some title text."/></title> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> </head> ..................................................................................................................................................... /tiles/homeTile.jsp: ..................................................................................................................................................... <h1 align="center">Content Tile!</h1> <div> <p> A paragraph of content. <p> A second paragraph of content. <p> A third paragraph of content. </div> ..................................................................................................................................................... tiles-defs.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 2.0//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_2_0.dtd";> <tiles-definitions> <!-- Display Definitions --> <definition name="/mainLayout" path="/tiles/layouts/siteLayout.jsp"> <put name="htmlHeader" value="/tiles/htmlHeaderTile.jsp"/> </definition> <definition name="/contentPage" extends="/mainLayout"> <put name="content" type="template" value="/tiles/homeTile.jsp"/> </definition> </tiles-definitions> ..................................................................................................................................................... faces-config.xml: ..................................................................................................................................................... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.1//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd";> <faces-config> <!-- Point to the tile view handler. --> <application> <view-handler>org.apache.shale.tiles.TilesViewHandler</view-handler> </application> <navigation-rule> </navigation-rule> </faces-config> ..................................................................................................................................................... There are no navigation rules defined. I'm just trying to put up a page that doesn't need to go anywhere for this test. As stated above the example webapp works with the one jsp forward but not with the other. When I switch the forwards in index.jsp, I wrapped the contents of siteLayout.jsp, after the taglib defs of course, with an <f:view>stuff</f:view> tag pair, but I got no server errors and nothing rendered in the browser---no resulting html source at all. Do you or does anyone else see what am I failing to do or how my approach is significantly different?
