it's not clear exactly which is your main page that you request from the browser. I use tiles-defs.xml as the repository for all my definitions, and I am no longer familiar with the other method that you are using - in fact I am even unsure whether you are using JavaServer Faces - is that why the files have .jsf endings?
From the start I found the tiles-defs.xml method superior. Have you checked it out?
Also, I'm confused by your use of 'content-type': does that refer simply to a tiles attribute or are you also using it somehow to specify the response header content-type and charset? If so, it's not obvious, and if not, it's probably at best misleading to use the term 'content-type' as a name for a tiles definition.

>I am trying to redesign a site with tiles and want to use several layout-definitions. One for the layout of the whole site and several for the different types of content. Hence, my question: Is it possible to predefine the attributes in only one definition-file that refers to the mainLayout?
As you can see from the enclosed code-snippets I predefine all attributes (including the modul-attributes form the modulLayout) in the mainContnetDef.jsf although I define the content-type attribute(which refers to the modulLayout) in the modul.jsp. Is that possible so? Or do I have to write a extra definition for the modulLayout?
thanks in advance!! dominik
