Hi,
I am not sure I understand your question, but
You can reference the menu tile definition directly from the sidebar, but you need to put the layout code into the sidebar, and pass the appropriate menu list to the sidebar (<put name="sidebar" value="sidebar.menu" /> ... and
<definition name="sidebar.menu" path="/sidebar.jsp">...</>)

Hello,
I have a tile definition as follows:
<definition name="pageConstructTile" path="/jsp/templates/hscf.jsp">
<put name="title" value="" />
<put name="header" value="/jsp/pageConstruct/header.jsp"/>
<put name="sidebar" value="/jsp/pageConstruct/sidebar.jsp"/>
<put name="footer" value="/jsp/pageConstruct/footer.jsp"/>
<put name="content" value="/jsp/pageConstruct/content.jsp"/>
</definition>
I want the sidebar to reference a list of items to build the menu. I accomplished it by adding a menu definition and menu.jsp as follows:
<definition name="menu" path="/jsp/pageConstruct/menu.jsp">
<putList name="items">
<item value="Page One"
link="pageOneLink.do"
classtype="org.apache.struts.tiles.beans.SimpleMenuItem" />
<item value="Page Two"
link="pageTwoLink.do"
classtype="org.apache.struts.tiles.beans.SimpleMenuItem" />
<item value="Page Three"
link="pageThreeLink.do"
classtype="org.apache.struts.tiles.beans.SimpleMenuItem" />
</putList>
</definition>
<%@ include file="/jsp/global/init.jsp" %>
<table width='100%'>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<%-- Push tiles attributes in page context --%>
<tiles:importAttribute />
<logic:iterate id="item" name="items" type="org.apache.struts.tiles.beans.MenuItem"> <tr>
<td align=center><a href="<%=item.getLink()%>" class=menuApplications><%=item.getValue()%></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</logic:iterate>
</table>
I then reference the menu definition in sidebar.jsp like this:
<%@ include file="/jsp/global/init.jsp" %>
<tiles:insert definition="menu" flush="true"/>
I was wondering if there would be a way to reference the menu tile definition directly in sidebar.jsp without having to create the menu.jsp. I hope my question is clear. I have heard people speak of nested tile definitions, but I have been unable to find an example.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated,
Jonathan
