Hi all, I am trying to standardize the look and feel to my web app, first idea was to use filters that modifies the contents of all web pages and format it to the desired layout. of course, there were Tiles to do that, so why re-invent the wheel? I went through a little problem, when tried to register the tile definition and use it as a bean to load up during application startup.. as per Ted Husted tutorials (thanks a lot Ted :)) here is my situation : -Struts 1.1 -Jdeveloper 10g
