Given the following structure:
/path/to/tomcat/webapps/myApp/three.jsp
/path/to/tomcat/webapps/myApp/four.jsp
/path/to/tomcat/webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/jsp/one.jsp
/path/to/tomcat/webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/jsp/two.jsp
/path/to/tomcat/webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/jsp/header.jsp
/path/to/tomcat/webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/jsp/footer.jsp
/path/to/tomcat/webapps/myApp/WEB-INF/jsp/menu.jsp
When I use classicLayout, all of the "put" calls seem to be relative to the
location of the layout file:
<tiles:insert page="WEB-INF/jsp/classicLayout.jsp" flush="true">
<tiles:put name="title" value="My first page" />
<%-- these are relative to the location of the layout,
so it's looking in WEB-INF/jsp/ --%>
<tiles:put name="menu" value="menu.jsp" />
<tiles:put name="body" value="one.jsp" />
<tiles:put name="header" value="two.jsp" />
<%-- must back up out of WEB-INF to get other files --%>
<tiles:put name="footer" value="../../four.jsp" />
</tiles:insert>
However, for vboxLayout, this is not the case:
<tiles:insert page="WEB-INF\jsp\vboxLayout.jsp" flush="true" >
<tiles:putList name="list" >
<%-- must specify path relative to the webapp root --%>
<tiles:add value="WEB-INF\jsp\header.jsp" />
<tiles:add value="WEB-INF\jsp\aBody.jsp" />
<tiles:add value="three.jsp" />
<tiles:add value="four.jsp" />
<tiles:add value="WEB-INF\jsp\footer.jsp" />
</tiles:putList>
</tiles:insert>
Also I just noticed that vboxLayout only works with the '\' separator. If I
switch to '/' it can't seem to find any of the files. :( This is running
under Tomcat 4.1.14 and the Struts nightly build from the 18th.
If '/' does not work on Windows, when I move this to HP-UX I suspect that
'\' will stop working.
Is this the expected behavior? I found it a little confusing as a tiles
newbie.
