I think a lot depends on what you mean by "update/add to the content of the website dynamically". Are you talking about updating content as a site administrator or as a regular user (i.e. regular user process for your application).

Please provide a little more information about this so I can understand your problem better.

Thanks.

Subject: Dynamic assignment of tiles

Dear All,

I am working on an intranet website using struts/tiles. Due to server 
restrictions write access is not allowed to the disk from which content is 
served. In order to update/add to the content of the website dynamically I 
need to change the tileDefinitions.xml file, which is obviously not 
possible.

My only solution so far is to write my own version of the 
org.apache.struts.tiles.xmlDefinition package to access a database instead 
- essentially create a TilesDefinitionFactory which reads the definitions 
from a database.

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or alternatives?

Paul

PS my first posting here, wasn't sure if this was a user problem or a dev 
problem.
