Thank you for your response.
The way I worked around the problem was to set a session attribute to the value of the
definition within the servlet. I then forwarded to a common jsp page that obtained
that session attribute value and uses it in a tile insert tag.
Seems to work ok.
Thanks again,
Trevor

Subject: Re: Using a Tile Definition from within a Servlet ?
Yes, it is possible. There is no simple API to do that, but take a
look at the TilesRequestProcessor.processTilesDefinition(...) method to
know how it is done by the struts servlet.
What you should do is:
* retrieve the definition from the factory
* create the new tile context from thedefinition
* save the current tile context
* store the new tile context in the jsp context
* include the new tile
* restore the current context
Hope this help,
Cedric
