tiles question

[Mariano García]

Hi all,

I have an html page (external.html) and in another my struts application
is running, could I use a title:put pointing to his web page? That page
is a dynamic perl page...

I don't know if tiles:get tag gets directly a file, o maybe it can do a
http request to another machine, in order to get html code. Maybe I
don't explain very well :)

I want somethins like this:


http://x.x.x.x/external.html"; />


external.html is a page that forwards to a html page (made with perl).

could toy help me, please?

Thanks,
Mariano.

Struts Tiles: Question Mark characters in page output

[eric scroger]

Can someone tell me why I'm getting question mark
chacters in my output display instead of the actual
page content?

I'm using Tomcat 4.0.x with Struts 1.1.

I'm using a simple layout template and setting
the Tiles in the layout as follows:

layout.jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld"
prefix="tiles" %>






index.jsp: (uses layout.jsp)
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld"
prefix="tiles" %>


  
  
  
  
  


I checked the logs and I'm not getting any exceptions.

Thanks,
Eric

And, more "Hmm...", it looks like whatever is assumed to have a value other 
than null at line 528 of InsertTag.java, so that you can look at the source 
code to see what that might be.  My guess is that there is some "name" 
object that is being passed into that "processName" method that is null.

I think so... It might be possible to download the dtd to a directory in 
your webapplication's directory locally and then refer to that instead...

RE: tiles question

[shirishchandra.sakhare]

If you use Tiles Definitions, you can get rid of this second jsp(holder jsp) per 
page.So you end up writing just one jsp(te body part jsp)per page..

Following is what you do.

Write one jsp which include all the reusable jsps and have the common layout for your 
site.
I call this CLassicLayout_template.jsp

It will have includes like this.






with proper layout offcourse.

Then define a base definition for u r site like this in tiles-defs.xml..
 
  
  
  
  
  

Then per page you just extend this page and overridfe the body portion..



 


In fact, ted Husteds book(Struts In Action)has a very chapter about it.That should 
ehlp u.

Shirish

There's a method of reducing this duplication in Ted Husted's "Struts in

and it addresses a particular situation that is common, that allows you 
to eliminate this duplication. Also, you can define and extend tile 
definitions in XML, that also help mitigate and leverage the 
scaleability of Tiles.

I recommend you check out Ted's book or other Struts books that also 
address Tiles.

Hi
well this is ok
tiles is used to manage many jsp sides with all nearly the same layouts over
one configuration file
this means you have to maintain (if you use full tiles power) minimum 3
files:
the layout jsp (setting positions of header, body, footer, and so on)
the content files (foreach (header,body,footer,and so on){ you have to make
jsp sides;})
the configuration xml file ( setting which content file should be used at
which position in layout file)
the advantage is that if all websites have the same header and footer you
only have to create the footer and header jsp once
The saving in the number of pages comes when you have many pages. Take 
as an example a page with 3 parts. That means for your first page, you 
have to create 5 files:

tiles-def.xml (config)
layout.jsp (skeleton)
header.jsp
content.jsp
footer.jsp
Now you want another page. Assuming that your header and footer require 
only changes that you can take care of in the xml, then you only require 
one more file - the content.jsp for the new page. So for a 10 page 
website, you only need 10 content pages, plus 4 (xml, layout, header & 
footer).

I don't think I could live without it now.

Thank you all for the fast reply. 
I am trying to use all the struts tags instead of plain HTML tags, but
still I am forced to use the plain HTML  tag due to the fact that
I make use of the 'dir' attribute. for example  and till
now I haven't seen support for that attribute on the  Struts
tag, or am I wrong? I wish...

RE: Simple Tiles question

[aies22]

It is legal, but:
1. You have to make sure that the outcome of putting all the tiles together
creates  one complete HTML page. Which means that if you have a header tile,
content tile and a footer tile, you should open the header with  and
close the footer with  and so on.
2. It is sometimes better to use the JSP tags  rather than plain
html.

Here is a little more detail:

I want a single reusable JSP error page which will have two pieces.
1. The message the user sees must be variable 
   (was a prob., figured out a decent solution. I still want multi-line, 
   formatted HTML to be sent to the JSP though)
2. The stacktrace printed in an HTML comment. (no problem)
3. Defined as a tile. (no problem)
4. JSP directive: errorPage="doc.specificError2" (this I'm not sure about)


I can do everything except figure out how to have the tiles def called if a
JSP error occurs.

  
  
  
  

  
  
  Hello User: A specific Error occurred.  Please do this.
  
  

  
  
  Hello User: A different specific Error occurred.  Please do that instead
of this.

Thank you for help - now it works. I just changes mapping class to the
actual one.

I was looking for an example of using tiles - and found one at
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-01-2002/jw-0104-tilestrut.html
There in "Solution 6" is actually what I was trying to implement in my case.

The definitions and forwarding look correct, but the DoFirst.java code 
you posted only had a perform() method, and no execute() method.  And 
the code you posted for DoFirst.java doesn't add the bean to the request.

When you access /usersAdm.do, Struts will match that request to the path 
"/userAdm" in struts-config.xml.  Struts will then call the perform() or 
execute() method of com.name.wos.struts.common.DoFirst.

From the code you posted, DoFirst.java will just return a forward 
called "success".  Struts will then match that to the path "usersPage", 
which matches the tiles definition "usersPage" in tiles-def.xml.

Nowhere in that process was a bean added to the request.  You must have 
a different class file which does that somewhere.

I have request.setAttribute("userList", userListBean); string in execute()

My Action class works well without tiles - it returns a bean to users.jsp

Re: Tiles question

[Jason Lea]

Hi,

The action DoFirst.java isn't putting the userList bean into the request.

It should be doing something like

	request.setAttribute("userList", userListBean);

It is also using the 'perform()' method, if you are using the latest 
struts then you should be using the 'execute()' method instead.

It works fine for header and footer. I think there's a problem (mostly I'm

Tiles question about file location(s)

[Mick . Knutson]

I am wondering how I should 
structure my tile files
 
I currently have secured, and 
non-secured files planned to be used:
 
Non 
Secured:
==
/index.jsp
/help.jsp

/content/*.jsp
/content/*.do
 
Secured:
===

/private/*.jsp
/private/*.do
 
Both use common tiles, images, styles 
etc..:
=

/images/*
/styles/*

/scripts/*

/tiles/*.jsp
 
Would this be correct, of should I have a 
common dir for common tiles like /tiles/*.jsp, and a copy of them under 
/private/tiles/*.jsp?
 
Also, part of my site will need to use SSL 
after prototyping is done, and part will not. Is this also OK?
Is everything else 
OK?
 
 



Thank You

Re: Basic Tiles question

 Hi,

 A tile attribute is only visible in its tile, not in its parent, not 
in the sub tiles.
  You should pass the attribute explicitly from the current tile to the 
inserted tile, or put the value in the request context:

 This is the module capability provided by struts.

 No real doc for now, only the initialization config.


Do I have to create different layouts for each module?


 Do as you want.
 If you want to have a consistent site, create common layouts used by 
all modules. Each module can also declare additional layouts.


Can I use some definition defined in other module?


 Yes and no ;-).
 You can only access definitions loaded by the factory. If the factory 
is dedicated to the module, you can't access definitions loaded by 
others factories.
 However, you can instruct the factories to load the same config file, 
so you will have the same definitions name in each factory.


What if there is a big-big common layout for the whole site, and some layouts 
per modules?

 There is no problem for that.

 The actual limitation from the "multi-module" in tiles factory is that 
tiles config files don't automatically add the module prefix: you need 
to use urls relative to the application, not to the module.

Re: Struts/Tiles question

[Cedric Dumoulin]

 Hi,

 The exception says that the Tiles Factory can't be found, so I suppose 
there was a problem during the initialization of it.

 If you use latest nightly build of Struts1.1 (recommended), you need 
to declare the TilesPlugin in the struts-config.xml. You don't need the 
ActionComponentServlet, which is for struts1.0.x.
 If you use struts multi module capability, you need one 
struts-config.xml file per module, and one Tiles plugin declaration in 
each. Also, the tiles plugin declaration should specify if you want one 
tiles factory per module:

 If you specify false, this will result in one single factory for all 
modules, initialized with parameters from the first initialized plugin.

Struts/Tiles question

[Raghavan, Namita]

Hi,

I am using Tiles and Struts and WebLogic 6.1. I have created some tile
definitions in a file called mytiles-defs.xml under DefaultWebApp\WEB-INF.
When I try to access my main page, I get the foll. exception:

Your scenario seems to be similar to the TabbedLayout example. 
[...]\struts-tiles\layouts\tabsLayout.jsp is doing this - although 
with the classic jsp approach.

Re: newbie tiles question

[Cedric Dumoulin]

  Hi,

  As you use definitions defined in a xml file, you should insert them 
as follow:

  



  In your example, you have use "beanName" instead of "name".

RE: Tiles question - menu items

[Heligon Sandra]

Thanks for your answer. I don't use sub-applications.
I would like to organize my Struts application into several sub-applications

but I don't have a lot of time to develop my application. 
I am scared to loose time to implement this new feature. I am convinced that
I will need of this architecture in the future.
If you have a simple example of sub-applications (with multiple
struts-config files,
source code directory organisation), I am very very interested. I will be
lucky to
use sub-applications in my first version.

About tiles-menu sub-items, I thought that it was more easy, and that we can
do
it with declaration.
I don't understand very well your solution, you place your code in the JSP
page but
in my page I have the following lines:

  
  
  
  

I don't give information about sub-items of the menu and I use message keys
for Home or Member in order to do internationalisation.
Have you really use JSTL Core with Tiles components ?
Is it the unique solution to customize the menu for each page ?

Subject: Re: Tiles question - menu items


If you're using sub-applications, you could use the bean tags to get a 
bean indicating which module you're in.  From there, just use a 
 from the JSTL.  I've implemented a similar solution, and it 
works great.  The only part I don't like is having to use a RTE in order 
to build the bean refering to the module I'm in.  I do this:

<%@ taglib prefix="bean" uri="/tags/struts-bean" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"; %>


That gives me the "prefix" of the module (empty for the default and 
/ for each module).  Then, you can use the power of the JSTL to do:

  

  Home


  Home

  

  

  Member


  Member

  

Does that shed some light?

Eddie

No. I commented it in order to test whether it makes sence.

  Try to comment the tag, and check if your application complains. If 
not, you can remove the tag. If there is an error, uncomment the tag. 
This was a bug in some Struts release where an error was thrown when no 
ApplicationResources was specified, even if you don't use this resources.

1.  It appears the first is a comment - an optional suggested configuration.

2.  Apparently, there is a method in MessageResources that requires this
declarative setting; what's the big deal?  Struts is still beta, after all.

  Yes. But only for methods you overload (like init(...), doInclude(...),

Hi,

yes this helped.

If I extend TilesRequestProcessor I only have to call the super methods
first and then do my stuff?

Thanks,

Re: tiles question

[Cedric Dumoulin]

   You need the TilesRequestProcessor and ActionComponentServlet with Struts1.1.
  ActionComponentServlet takes in charge Tiles initialization.
  TilesRequestProcessor takes in charge Struts "forward" catching.

  You can have your own request processor extending the Tiles one, allowing
functionalities from both.

Hope this help,

Re: tiles question

[Udo Walker]

Hi,

can I mix 

org.apache.struts.tiles.ActionComponentServlet

and my own RequestProcessor with Tiles and Struts 1.1?

Do I have the full functionality of Tiles while keeping the
functionality of my own RequestProcessor?
Or, questioned the other way round: Do I need the TilesRequestProcessor
for Struts 1.1?

Thanks,
Udo.

RE: tiles question

[Wellie W. Chao]

What version of struts are you using? I'm using 1.1 beta 1, and the forward
to tiles definition feature works just fine. My action tags look just like
what you specified.

You may need to check and make sure you have the proper settings in web.xml.
In web.xml, you should have:

action
org.apache.struts.tiles.ActionComponentServlet

Also, in struts-config.xml, you should have:

Here's the tag in my struts-config.xml:



Here's the definition in my tiles-defs.xml:


  


When I try to invoke this action forward I get an exception:

The forward tag is expecting a value like '/resources.jsp', not a tiles

Re: tiles question

[Cedric Dumoulin]

  Yes it is ;-)
  Have you specify to use the appropriate Tiles processor (if struts1.1) or tiles 
action servlet (struts1.0.x) ?

  In struts1.1, add following to your struts-config file :
  
  
  

  In struts 1.0, specify to use ComponentActionServlet in web.xml. Check documentation 
or examples.
  Other users have already got this problem, check struts archive for "Weird problem 
with tiles and struts forward".

Hope this help,

Re: Tiles question: Is it possible to insert a ComponentDefinition into a Tile context dynamically?

[Cedric Dumoulin]

  Yes and no ;-)
  No, this is not a feature directly supported by Tiles
  Yes, as you have sources, and you know which definition factory you use, you
can add directly a definition to the factory.
   How : create definition, retrieve the factory from context, cast it to its
real implementation, use available methods to add definition.
  This added definition will be available from all your application. Be care to
not overwrite an existing definition !

RE: Tiles question: Is it possible to insert a ComponentDefinition into a Tile context dynamically?

[Chris Cool]

Hello, Cedric:

Thank you for responding to my question. 

As you stated, I can add/overload an attribute in the current context.
Specifically, I am adding a new item to an existing list. However, each item
in the list is the key to a Tile definition. Most of the definitions are in
the XML file, but I want to add a new Tile definition dynamically so that
the new item in the list is a reference to the new Tile definition. Is this
possible?

Thanks again,

Chris

  Hello,

  If you are in a tile controller, you don't have to create a new
ComponentDefinition, you can set the attributes of the current tiles
(because you
are in the controller).
  To add / overload an attribute in the context, do something like :
  String attribute = (String)context.getAttribute("attributeName");
  attribute = "new value";
  context.setAttribute("attributeName", attribute);

  To add a list, create the list, add elements, and add the list to context.
  You can overload a previously defined list. Do not modify content of an
existing list, because it is shared between inherited instances. :

   List list = new java.util.ArrayList();
  list.add( "a value" );
  list.add( "another value");
  context.setAttribute("listAttributeName", list);

  Hope this help,

Cedric

P.S. :
The DefinitionsUtil.setActionDefinition( aDefinition ); is to be used when
you
are inside a Struts action called by Struts mechanism.
  It has not effect when used inside a tile controller

  If you are in a tile controller, you don't have to create a new
ComponentDefinition, you can set the attributes of the current tiles (because you
are in the controller).
  To add / overload an attribute in the context, do something like :
  String attribute = (String)context.getAttribute("attributeName");
  attribute = "new value";
  context.setAttribute("attributeName", attribute);

  To add a list, create the list, add elements, and add the list to context.
  You can overload a previously defined list. Do not modify content of an
existing list, because it is shared between inherited instances. :

   List list = new java.util.ArrayList();
  list.add( "a value" );
  list.add( "another value");
  context.setAttribute("listAttributeName", list);

  Hope this help,

Cedric

P.S. :
The DefinitionsUtil.setActionDefinition( aDefinition ); is to be used when you
are inside a Struts action called by Struts mechanism.
  It has not effect when used inside a tile controller

Tiles question: Is it possible to insert a ComponentDefinition into a Tile context dynamically?

[Chris Cool]

Hi,

I have a tile that reads items from a PutList list and then inserts each
item into the current page. 

   
   
   

When the items in the list are tiles defined in my tileDefinitions.xml file,
the tiles are inserted into my JSP correctly. However, I want to dynamically
create a tile definition and insert it into the page context. 

I am generating the ComponentDefinition in my tile controller and accessing
the "itemList" where I add the name of the dynamically generated definition:

  /* get the item list and insert new tile def into it */
  ArrayList itemList = (ArrayList)context.getAttribute("itemList");
  if (itemList != null) {

HashMap map = new HashMap();
map.put("name", "newtarget");
map.put("link", "newtarget.do");

ComponentDefinition newItem = 
new ComponentDefinition("new.item",
  "/mytiles/simpleItem.jsp",
map);

DefinitionsUtil.setActionDefinition( request, breadCrumbItem );
itemList.add("new.item");
  }

In my tile, the "itemList" contains the "new.item" entry, but it does not
appear to find the ComponentDefinition I created.

Thanks for you help.

Hi,

I have a tile that reads items from a PutList list and then inserts each
item into the current page.







When the items in the list are tiles defined in my tileDefinitions.xml file,
the tiles are inserted into my JSP correctly. However, I want to dynamically
create a tile definition and insert it into the page context.

I am generating the ComponentDefinition in my tile controller and accessing
the "itemList" where I add the name of the dynamically generated definition:

/* get the item list and insert new tile def into it */

ArrayList itemList = (ArrayList)context.getAttribute("itemList");

if (itemList != null) {

HashMap map = new HashMap();

map.put("name", "newtarget");

map.put("link", "newtarget.do");


ComponentDefinition newItem =

new ComponentDefinition("new.item",

"/mytiles/simpleItem.jsp",

map);

DefinitionsUtil.setActionDefinition( request, breadCrumbItem );

itemList.add("new.item");

}

In my tile, the "itemList" contains the "new.item" entry, but it does not
appear to find the ComponentDefinition I created.

Thanks for you help.

Tiles question: Is it possible to insert a ComponentDefinition into a Tile context dynamically?

[Chris Cool]

Hi,

I have a tile that reads items from a PutList list and then inserts each
item into the current page. 

   
   
   

When the items in the list are tiles defined in my tileDefinitions.xml file,
the tiles are inserted into my JSP correctly. However, I want to dynamically
create a tile definition and insert it into the page context. 

I am generating the ComponentDefinition in my tile controller and accessing
the "itemList" where I add the name of the dynamically generated definition:

  /* get the item list and insert new tile def into it */
  ArrayList itemList = (ArrayList)context.getAttribute("itemList");
  if (itemList != null) {

HashMap map = new HashMap();
map.put("name", "newtarget");
map.put("link", "newtarget.do");

ComponentDefinition newItem = 
new ComponentDefinition("new.item",
  "/mytiles/simpleItem.jsp",
map);

DefinitionsUtil.setActionDefinition( request, breadCrumbItem );
itemList.add("new.item");
  }

In my tile, the "itemList" contains the "new.item" entry, but it does not
appear to find the ComponentDefinition I created.

Thanks for you help.

Tiles question: Using inside tiles:put

[Molitor, Stephen]

Is it OK to use bean:message to look up a message inside a tiles:put tag?
For example:

  

  

The instantiating page might get the title like this:

  

Is anyone else doing this?  Usually this works for me, but sometimes the
servlet container (WebLogic SP8) blows up on the getAsString.

Thanks!

RE: Stupid Tiles Question

[Galbreath, Mark]

If content/functionality is relatively static (and you are not deploying to
unknown containers), JSPs should really be precompiled by the container JSP
compiler (Jasper in Tomcat) and included in the jar deploy file.

  Don't forget that each Tile is a jsp that need to be compiled at the first
hit, like all jsp. This happen normally only once when you change the jsp
content. After that,  performances overhead is not significant.

wrong in your config.

Re: Stupid Tiles Question

[Ted Husted]

I've noticed that the initial compile takes longer, but once the JSP is
compiled, the performance cost should dwindle. The best thing is to run
your own load tests, since a number of factors can affect performance
and scalabilty. It sounds like something else is wrong here.

Stupid Tiles Question

[Andy Noble]

Sorry for this stupid tiles question, but I need to make sure I understand 
this.

When I tried tiles, it appeared to severely affect performance. This seemed 
to be because a new JSP was *constructed* on each request and then 
*compiled* before finally being run, which then served up the HTML to the 
client.

Is this correct? Is this performance hit the price to be paid for the 
flexibility? Does this scale for thousands of users?

Thanks
Andy

Re: Tiles Question

[Cedric Dumoulin]

  Hi,

  I have no ideas on an xml/xsl architecture using tiles.
  But, for dynamic portal, I have added such an example in the latest
distribution
(tiles/tutorial/dynPortal).
  This example allows to choose tiles to render in portal. You can
choose in a list
of available tiles, and move tiles between columns. It is not difficult
to extend
this example to select dynamically the layout used for the portal.

  Hope this help,

Cedric
