I've recently inherited a system in development that was started using
templates instead of tiles. My question is - is there much effort to
convert from templates to tiles. Secondly, is it recommended?
Yes it is
I'm in a time crunch as I'm learning Struts as I go and deadlines have to
be met. I'm not even sure if the templates are being used properly. I've
made the switch to point to tiles tld but now I'm reconsidering if I should
go further. The template is below for opinions.
TIA, Bart
The template jsp
<%@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld' prefix='tiles' %> <tiles:get name='header'/> <tiles:get name='menu'/> <tiles:get name='content'/> <tiles:get name='footer'/> <%--
The layout jsp
<%@ taglib uri='/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld' prefix='template' %>
<template:insert template='pageTemplate.jsp'> <template:put name='menu' content='includes/nav_left.jsp'/> <template:put name='header' content='includes/header.jsp'/> <template:put name='content' content='auditAssignmentContent.jsp'/> <template:put name='footer' content='includes/footer.inc'/> </template:insert>
Try looking at Cedric Dumoulin original documentation. Also there are few Tiles specific articles on the web. Search for them.
Also look at Cedric's contributions inside "Struts In Action" Manning.
Chuck Cavaness's book "Programming Jakarta Struts", O'Reilly also
has a decent Tiles introduction.
You want to work with Tiles
+1 on everything by Peter. My suggestion is that you take a close look at the actual code. Once you see how that works, the rest will fall into place easily. The transition from Templates is, I think, relatively easy.
