There is some differences:
* Xml definitions are store in a factory; they can be inserted with
<insert name="aDefinition"; they are declared in a centralized
file, they can be declared using inheritance; they can be used in
a struts <forward ...> tag; they need the initialization of the
factory (done by the plugin)
* jsp definition are stored in one of the jsp context. They are
inserted with <insert beanName="aBeanId">; they don't need the
factory; they can't be used as struts <forward ...>; they are
created each time the <tiles:definition ..> tag is encountered.Hope this help,

Hi All, I am new to tiles and experimenting with it a bit to see if our struts 1.0 template based application can be ported to Tiles easily...
I have got some sample pages from our application working using tiles definations But the definations are defined in a jsp file.
So my question is whats the difference between Using an xml file for defination and using a jsp file?If I am using jsp definations, Do i stil need to initialise the Defination factory?
If I go the jsp way, Will I be still able to use all features of tiles ?because I think to use tiles I need to use ActionComponentServlet(Struts 1.0) instead of ActionServlet...And the ActionComponentServlet modifies the forward behaviour for use with tiles...So does it mean that whether I use xml definations or not,I need to use ActionCOmponentServlet...Is it true?
Any help is appreciated...
