Answers below. > Also, I see examples of definitions starting with a '.'. Is > this important/relevant? More of a standard/best practice than important or relevant to your first question. > Action using defintion as "input" as well as forward path. Should work. > Can links be set to defintions? > > <html:link action="app.extractDefinition" > No, you need an action of some kind that will forward to a definition. Most people use DefinitionDispatcherAction. See http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/tiles/actions/Definit ionDispatcherAction.html Otherwise you end up with a basic link to a document with your tile name, which if you stop and think about it makes sense. So you'll end up with a 404. > This didn't seem to work and I had to use: > > <html:link href="/ToExtract" > > > and: > > <action path="/ToExtract" forward="app.extractDefinition" /> That'll work, too. You also can't declare a global forward to a tile and expect to have it work correctly, though, so don't try it. =) > I have read a lot but haven't found a clear outline to using > defintions in Struts. Yeah, I noticed that, too. But I managed to figure it out--and it looks like you're halfway there. =) David Hibbs, ACS Staff Programmer / Analyst American National Insurance Company --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
