I've been playing with Tiles for several days, getting some simple
examples to work. I've read all the documentation several times but I'm
missing a key part of the definition inheritence I think. Can somebody
please clarify this for me? Here's what I'd like to do:
I'd like to have a main page that specifies a header, menubar, body, and
footer. Then in the pages of my website, I'd like to insert tiles into
the body. So far it's very easy if I only have one tile to insert into
the body. But I'm really stuck on how to insert two tiles into the same
body. This is what I've tried:
tiles-defs.xml:
<!-- Doc index page description -->
<definition name="default_layout"
path="/jsp/layouts/default_layout.jsp">
<put name="header" value="/jsp/common/header.jsp" />
<put name="menubar" value="/jsp/common/menubar.jsp" />
<put name="footer" value="/jsp/common/footer.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="plant_status_page"
extends="default_layout"
path="/jsp/status/plant_status_body.jsp">
<put name="body1" value="plant_list"/>
<put name="body2" value="subsystme_list"/>
</definition>
Default_layout.jsp:
<!-- Header Page Information -->
<tiles:insert attribute="header" />
<!-- Menu Bar -->
<tiles:insert attribute="menubar"/>
<!-- Main Body Information -->
<tiles:insert attribute="body"/>
<!-- Copyright Information -->
<tiles:insert attribute="footer"/>
plant_status_body.jsp:
<HR>TOP<HR>
<!-- Header Page Information -->
<tiles:insert attribute="body1" />
<HR>MIDDLE<HR>
<tiles:insert attribute="body2"/>
<HR>END<HR>
This works, but the problem is I don't get the header & footer defined
in the default_layout.jsp. Now I can cut & paste the header & footer
code into plant_status_body.jsp but I think there has to be a better way
to do this. Can someone please tell me if this is possible and how?
