I think that You are missing something.
First create one jsp page (baseLayout.jsp) you can call it whatever You like
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<tiles:insert attribute="col1"></tiles:insert>
</td>
<td>
<tiles:insert attribute="col2"></tiles:insert>
</td>
<td>
<tiles:insert attribute="col3"></tiles:insert>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Than in Your Tiles definitions (tiles-def.xml) file define your
baseLayout like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD
Tiles Configuration 1.1//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd";>
<tiles-definitions>
<definition name="baseLayout" page="/WEB-INF/layouts/baseLayout.jsp">
<put name="col1" value="/firstColumn.jsp" />
<put name="col2" value="/secondColumn.jsp" />
<put name="col3" value="/thirdColumn.jsp" />
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
Than create other pages and make them use your base layout.
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles"%>
<tiles:insert page="/WEB-INF/layouts/baseLayout.jsp">
<tiles:put name="col1" value="/leftMenu.jsp">
</tiles:put>
<tiles:put name="col2" value="/body.jsp">
</tiles:put>
<tiles:put name="col3" value="/bannerBar.jsp">
</tiles:put>
</tiles:insert>
Please do not try to put this code to work before you read the docs
carefully. It will cost you mutch more time and again you will be
nowhere.
I wrote it just to make you shure that tiles will display wherever You
want them (baseLayout.jsp).
