Re: Tiles Two JSP's for Displaying One Form .

[Jeff Kyser]

I don't think so, but here's an example from my tiles-config file:

Master Page - the layout
        inserts a 'header' containing a logo/image
        has 'empty' slots for menu, body
    <definition name="order_entry.masterPage"
                path="/WEB-INF/pages/layout/torchHeaderLayout.jsp">
        <put name="title"  value="" />
        <put name="header" value="/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/header.jsp" />
        <put name="menu"   value="/WEB-INF/pages/layout/emptyTile.jsp" 
/>
        <put name="body"   value="/WEB-INF/pages/layout/emptyTile.jsp" 
/>
        <put name="body-background" 
value="../../../images/background.gif" />
    </definition>

'masterMenu' - just inserts the menu, to be used subsequently as a 
template
for other pages that want a menu on them

    <definition name="order_entry.masterMenu" 
extends="order_entry.masterPage">
        <put name="menu"   value="/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/menu.jsp" />
    </definition>

A typical page - extends the master Menu - only adds 1 jsp

    <definition name="order_entry.accession.SearchByAccession" 
extends="order_entry.masterMenu">
        <put name="title"  value="Search By Accession Number" />
        <put name="body"   
value="/WEB-INF/pages/accession/SearchByAccessionNumber.jsp" />
    </definition>

Sure, I had a few 'helper' JSP pages, but from now on, as long as they
just use the master or menu Master, they just need to add 1 JSP + an 
entry
in this tiles-config.xml file.

Isnt it ??
Fine You have one JSp for the Body content .. Then you extend from the
master page to make a new definition in the XML file .
But then I require another JSP which actually inserts that definition 
...

No, it should be more like 40 + 1 per re-usable tile component

I set up a 'master page' with the basic layout,
and perhaps a 'menu' include containing my menu buttons / links,
and then the tiles definition just inserts the content into a 
definition
derived from the master page layout. And that is all done in
the tiles-config.xml file

So you might have 40 definitions in your tiles config + 40 body content
JSPs,
but certainly not 80 JSPs.
or at least that's my way of thinking on the matter

Hi ,
        In my application there may be around 40 forms . I am using the
classic layout for the application .
the body changes for every page , I mean I have a different JSP's for
these
forms .
Each form is submitted and a result page is desplayed .
Now my question is if I have 40 forms , so do I need to create total
of 80
JSP (Excluding the result page) ??
I mean one JSP having the body content and the other one to integrate
all
tiles .
The second option could be using one JSP having all the insert Tags
with the
Body content .
Is there any better option available ??
This question is not for the results page as I know the result page
can be
directly called from the action .
