I am using tiles and I find them very useful
I can give you an example
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<tiles:insert page="/layouts/form_template.jsp" flush="true">
<tiles:put name="header" value="/common/header.jsp"/>
<tiles:put name="body" value="/forms/body.jsp"/>
<tiles:put name="footer" value="/common/footer.jsp"/>
<tiles:put name="error" value="/common/error.jsp"/>
</tiles:insert>
the above four(header,body,footer,error) are sent like arguments to
form_template.jsp
The following is the /layouts/form_template.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<html:html>
<head>
<title>
<html:base/>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Insert Standard Header Page Fragment -->
<tiles:insert attribute="header"/>
<!-- Insert Error Page Fragment -->
<tiles:insert attribute="error"/>
<!-- Insert Body Page Fragment -->
<tiles:insert attribute="body"/>
<!-- Insert Standard Footer Page Fragment -->
<tiles:insert attribute="footer"/>
</body>
</html:html>
