I may be misunderstanding, but you are suggesting using the body of the put and how big can that body be...?
It is possible just to define the individual jsp's without the need for this intermediary "template" jsp. This is a big advantage of tiles. You can define the definition in the tilesDefinitions.xml (or whatever file name you have defined as a parameter for the ActionComponentServlet). You can forward to the tile definition as well from within the perform() method. You also have the possibility to behave exactly like the template tag library as well. It is quite possible that you know all of this, but I thought I should mention it just in case. I am sure Cedric will make things more clear for you. sandeep --- Peter Pilgrim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In the Struts Template in order to use dynamic > layout features > > introduction.jsp > <%@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/struts-template.tld' > prefix='template' %> > > <template:insert template='/chapterTemplate.jsp'> > <template:put name='title' content='Templates' > direct='true'/> > <template:put name='header' content='/header.html' > /> > <template:put name='sidebar' > content='/sidebar.jsp' /> > <template:put name='content' > content='/introduction.html'/> > <template:put name='footer' content='/footer.html' > /> > </template:insert> > > underConstruction.jsp > <%@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/struts-template.tld' > prefix='template' %> > > <template:insert template='/chapterTemplate.jsp'> > <template:put name='title' content='Templates' > direct='true'/> > <template:put name='header' content='/header.html' > /> > <template:put name='sidebar' > content='/sidebar.jsp' /> > <template:put name='content' > content='/underConstruction.html'/> > <template:put name='footer' content='/footer.html' > /> > </template:insert> > > This is tiredsome because for every JSP file you > need to have > a separate insert file just to use the template. > > In Tiles you use a different form which very direct > > <template:insert template="layout.jsp"> > <template:put name="title" value="Test with > a tag body" /> > <template:put name="header" type="string"> > <strong>This header is inserted as > body of tag</strong> > </template:put> > <template:put name="body" > value="body.jsp"/> > </template:insert> > > My question is how big can the BodyContent of the > <template:put> > string form be?
