You can also use a controller class/action to do it <tiles:insert definition="erp.mainLayout" flush="true" controller="/selectBodyTile.do"/>
and then in the action class for /selectBodyTile.do you can access the ComponentContext which will allow you to change the attributes before tiles does the insert thus allowing you to programmatically set the inner tile to be a JSP,another tile, etc. of your choice. class SelectBodyControllerAction extends Action { public ActionForward execute( ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ComponentContext temp = ComponentContext.getContext(request); if(isFullMoon(request)) { temp.putAttribute("body", "fullmoon.jsp"); } else { temp.putAttribute("body", "justanotherday.jsp"); } return super.execute(mapping, form, request, response); } } Controllers can also be a Derivative of TilesController which gives you the Context as a param "Bj" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > you can use java to do this.
