Hi all,
Sorry for this lengthy mail but I am getting crazy!
I am working with Struts and Tiles and I am developing a small site to
test (and stress this technology)
I reused some layouts taken from the tiles documentation. The standard
page layout with the classical header, body, footer attributes and, in
particular I took the vboxLayout:
<%
Iterator i = list.iterator();
while(i.hasNext()) {
String name = (String)i.next();
%>
<tiles:insert name="<%= name %>" flush="true"/>
<%
}
%>
What I want is a page with the standard layout whose body is a vboxLayout
with some tiles.
To do this I have to write the following files:
main.jsp
mainBody.jsp
t1.jsp
t2.jsp
Where main is a page which uses the standard layout, mainBody is a simple
.jsp with only a
<tiles:insert page="vboxLayout.jsp">
<tiles:putList name="list">
<tiles:add value="t1.jsp"/>
<tiles:add value="t2.jsp"/>
...
t1, t2 are .jsp tiles.
Now my questions are:
1) The mainBody contains a list of tiles some of which might be text-only.
I would like to do something like this:
<tiles:insert page="vboxLayout.jsp">
<tiles:putList name="list">
<tiles:add value="t1.jsp"/>
<tiles:add type="string">This is an embedded text only tile</tiles:add>
...
In this way I would get rid of all the .jsp which contains only text/html
and are peculiar to a single page. But this doesn't work.
2) Another problem is when a tile, let's say t1.jsp, needs some attributes
to be passed in order to be instantiated. Let's suppose that the tile t1
needs a title. How do I pass that attribute in the previous example?
<tiles:insert page="vboxLayout.jsp">
<tiles:putList name="list">
<tiles:add value="t1.jsp">
<tiles:put name="title" value="Yupi"/>
</tiles:add>
<tiles:add value="t2.jsp"/>
...
Doesn't work.
I tried to write a local definition before actually inserting the tile:
<tiles:definition id="instantiatedT1" page="t1.jsp">
<tiles:put name="title" value="Yupi"/>
</tiled:definition>
<tiles:insert page="vboxLayout.jsp">
<tiles:putList name="list">
<tiles:add value="instantiatedT1"/>
<tiles:add value="t2.jsp"/>
...
But this doesn't work too. I tried also to specify different scopes for
the definition (even the application one!) and different types for the
<tiles:add> tag (namely type="definition" and also
beanName="instantiatedT1").
The only way I've found to make this work is to put the definition inside
the tiles-config.xml, but this would be equivalent in having a separate t1.jsp
with no parameters.
I suppose the problem is in the vboxLayout but I cannot figure out how to
write a layout which supports what I said in 1).
The problem in 2) still has no solution (to me).
A presto,
Fabio
