Re: [Q] Using tiles definition in global-forwards...

[David Graham]

Tiles in a global forward has nothing to do with the issue.  The 
<logic:forward> tag does not call Tiles to process a definition.  Tiles is 
only called through its customized RequestProcessor.  I advise against using 
the forward tag at all because that function is business logic that should 
be in an Action.

Subject: [Q] Using tiles definition in global-forwards...
Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2003 10:22:42 -0800
I have searched the mail archives for this and found the following message:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg61840.html

Basically I want to put a tiles definition into a global forward like this:

------
<global-forwards>
        <forward name="welcome"
                 path=".tiles.definition"  />
</global-forwards>
------
but when I call the following in index.jsp:

------
<%@ taglib uri="struts-logic" prefix="logic"%>
        <logic:forward name="welcome"/>
------
I get a 404 error saying:

-----
The requested resource (/xyz/.welcome) is not available.
-----
The workaround posted in the message referenced above says to create a 
custom action forward and call it with a parameter with the tiles 
definition. This, to me, seems like a quick hack to work around the fact 
that tiles is not quite fully integrated into struts yet. Of course I could 
be completely wrong saying that and if so I apologize (with a nod to Cedric 
for his hard work! ;-). I wrote up a bug (#18241: 
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18241)  which was closed 
saying this was already working.

Can someone please help and show me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your help,
 - John
