I had anticipated the need to store the contents of uploaded pages in a database as a
blob, and modify the ActionServlet (or otherwise) to trap requests for these pages and
pull the data from the DB. Most likely this would be for static html pages only. This
has yet to be investigated fully.

Hi John,
The server here setup is a little odd:
There is a single development server to which you have full access via a samba share.
When it comes to production, your site is effectively war'ed and redployed
automatically to a server farm - over which you have no control whatsoever. This is
great for static sites as it takes care of load balancing, failover etc.
The site will function as a team site, including: news, a document repository etc. for
all the constituent parts of my group. As such the content will be ever expanding.
There will be many administrators (one per product group I guess) that will have
access to add new pages to the site using an on-line wizard-style tool that I will
write. It will be kind of like a Wiki, but a lot more controlled.
Without a content wizard, administrators would need access to the development server
which is more control than we want to allow.
I hope that helps.
Thanks, Paul

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.
