Thanks for putting in the time on a great reply! At this point, am cautiously optimistic that this will work, or rather that I can get it to work. I've got a few frames updating, so it looks like that's just the ticket. Thanks again!

If you want to use frames then each frame is going to issue it's own request. If you want to hide the JSPs under WEB-INF, then you have to front each request with an action because you can't link to the JSP directly.
It probably means replacing your definition with:
<definition name="associator.masterPage" path="/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/framesetLayout.jsp"> <put name="title" value="Associator" /> <put name="heading" value="/Heading.do" /> <put name="code" value="/EmptyMenu.do" /> <put name="menu" value="/Menu.do" /> <put name="button" value="/Button.do"/> <put name="text" value="/Categories.do"/> </definition>
and adding an action mapping to struts-config.xml for each of the items:
<action path="/Heading" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="associator.masterPage.heading"/>
and then another definition in tiles-def.xml:
<definition name="associator.masterPage.heading" path="/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/heading.jsp">
Have to repeat that for code, menu, button, text. So then if a real action wanted to change both code and menu frames, you can create a definition that extends the first definition:
<definition name="associator.masterPage.newpage" extends="associator.masterPage"> <put name="title" value="New Definition" /> <put name="code" value="/NewCodePage.do" /> <put name="menu" value="/NewMenu.do" /> </definition>
I'm not sure if this will work - as it is 2am here and I am about to go to bed :) But it looks ok to my half-closed eyes
Jeff Kyser wrote:Hello,
I was trying to use a Tile Definition like:
<definition name="associator.masterPage"
path="/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/framesetLayout.jsp">
<put name="title" value="Associator" />
<put name="heading" value="/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/heading.jsp" />
<put name="code" value="/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/emptyMenu.jsp" />
<put name="menu" value="/WEB-INF/pages/menu.jsp" />
<put name="button" value="/WEB-INF/pages/button.jsp"/>
<put name="text" value="/WEB-INF/pages/categories.jsp"/>
</definition>
with a framesetLayout.jsp that looks like:
<frameset rows="137,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="<%=request.getContextPath()%><tiles:getAsString name="heading" />" name="heading" scrolling="NO" noresize>
<frameset cols="217,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frameset rows="0,*" frameborder="NO" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame src="<%=request.getContextPath()%><tiles:getAsString name="code" />" name="code">
<frame src="<%=request.getContextPath()%><tiles:getAsString name="menu" />" name="menu">
</frameset>
<frameset rows="26%,*" frameborder="0" border="0" framespacing="5" cols="*">
<frame src="<%=request.getContextPath()%><tiles:getAsString name="button" />" name="button" noresize/>
<frame src="<%=request.getContextPath()%><tiles:getAsString name="text" />" name="text" noresize/>
</frameset>
</frameset>
</frameset>
but I get Forbidden errors, presumably because my JSPs are beneath the WEB-INF directory and
therefore not accessible.
Is there an alternate way to do this and still have my JSPs underneath WEB-INF?
(Basically, I have a frames-based layout with a scrollable panel, and am trying
to figure out how to best implement that feature using Struts/Tiles without exposing all
my JSPs.
TIA,
