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: <tiles:insert page="/layouts/classicLayout.jsp" flush="true"> <tiles:put name="title" value="Tiles Basic Page" /> <tiles:put name="header" value="/tiles/common/header.jsp" /> <tiles:put name="footer" value="/tiles/common/footer.jsp" /> <tiles:put name="menu" value="/tiles/simpleMenu.jsp" /> 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 ? -----Original Message----- From: Eddie Bush [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 16 September 2002 20:20 To: Struts Users Mailing List 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 <c:choose> 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"; %> <bean:define id="prefix" name="<%= org.apache.struts.action.Action.APPLICATION_KEY %>" property="prefix"/> That gives me the "prefix" of the module (empty for the default and /<module> for each module). Then, you can use the power of the JSTL to do: <c:choose> <c:when test='${empty prefix}'> Home </c:when> <c:otherwise> <html:link forward='toDefault'>Home</html:link> </c:otherwise> </c:choose> <c:choose> <c:when test='${prefix == "/member"}'> Member </c:when> <c:otherwise> <html:link forward='toMember'>Member</html:link> </c:otherwise> </c:choose> Does that shed some light?
