Hi Cedric, Thanks for the reply once again..:-)) But I still have one question. So does it mean that using the jsp approach is a bit inefficient?But is the the only disadvantage?
My main concern is can I use all the features of tiles (Mainly defination Inheritance etc.)with the jsp approach? I am trying to avoid the use of action component servlet as We already have extended ActionServlet in our project.And I am not sure if we Instead inherit ActionComponentServlet will it affect any thing else.. regards, Shirish -----Original Message----- From: Cedric Dumoulin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 2:19 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Tiles Question:Diff between jsp and XML tiles definations... 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.
