Hello Rick. Happy New Year to you. I'm just curious. Why are you
switching? I remember you advocating Sitemesh (I think it was on your
site) instead of Tiles at some point. I haven't tried either one yet,
but was going to try Sitemesh based largely on your recommendation, next
time I saw a good opportunity. So far I haven't needed a layout
framework, but I've gotta catch up with the times at some point . . .

I'm switching back to using Tiles instead of Sitemesh and I remember
one issue that I found annoying with Tiles and I'd be curious how you
guys handle it. Say I have a form that is going to be reused for both
"Edit" and "Add." I want the <title> attribute to read something like
"Add Employee" or "Edit Employee," depending on what I'm doing. It
seems silly to have to create multiple definitions in my
tiles-definitions that are essentially the same exact definition
except that the title has changed (potentially you might want a
definition to be used for more than just the two that I mentioned).
This also requires that my struts config has to be set up to forward
to multiple tiles definitions when its really the same page layout but
with a different title and could really just require one definition to
use.
I've thought of different ways I might want to handle this (ie set a
title in request scope before leaving action and have the header.jsp
look for this, or maybe use a filter or over-ride RequestProcessor?)
I'm curious if others have run into this. Maybe the latest
Struts/Tiles has a solution that I have not looked into.
Thanks
