Graeme, What is the attributes of your form (formAction)? Do you have a getter/setter for "delete"? I believe that this what '<html:checkbox property="delete">' is looking for.
Shed. -----Original Message----- From: Graeme Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 29, 2004 21:16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Tiles and Forms What is the correct pattern for placing a struts html:form tag in a layout where - the controls may be in a different location (and hence different tiles) from the buttons that submit the form - where you want the action the form submits to to be customisable by whatever jsp uses this form? If anyone could give a simple example of using this pattern I would appreciate it. For example here's a simplification of what I am currently trying Simple Layout <%@ page language="java"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html"; prefix="html"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-bean"; prefix="bean"%> <html:html locale="true"> <head> <title><tiles:getAsString name="title"/></title> </head> <body> <bean:define id="formAction" type="java.lang.String"><tiles:getAsString name="formAction"/></bean:define> <html:form action="<%= formAction %>"> <tiles:insert attribute="body"/> <tiles:insert attribute="buttons"/> </html:form> </body> </html:html> Simple Use of the above layout (using the body wrap pattern for ease of readability) <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles"%> <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html"; prefix="html"%> <tiles:insert page="simple-layout.jsp" flush="true"> <tiles:put name="title" value="Hello World" /> <tiles:put name="formAction" value="/SomeAction.do" /> <tiles:put name="body" type="string"><html:checkbox property="delete"></tiles:put> <tiles:put name="buttons" type="string"><html:submit property="command">Save</html:submit></tiles:put> </tiles:insert> Unfortunately while the form action gets correctly rendered with the right action passed from the jsp that uses the layout, the checkbox rendering fails with the message "Cannot find bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN in any scope". As far as I understand this means the html form tag is not being put in scope for the checkbox to find. Any wise words appreciated.
