Hi Peter,
You can define definition i mentioned "another.definition" just like any
other definition in tiles-defs.xml.
Tiles framework will find it for you. Just add to your defs:
...
<definition name="another.definition"
path="your.jsp"
controllerClass="possibly.ControllerClass">
<put name="attribute_1" value="value_1"/>
...
<put name="attribute_N" value="value_N"/>
</definition>
...
in this example your.jsp is the JSP that you want to substitute your
body.jsp with.
Hope this helps.
Peace,
Aidas
