Rick, I wouldn't worry too much about having a different definition just to switch title. In essence, it is a different view and so it's deserving of a unique entry. Besides, the amount of typing is trivial because Tiles allows overriding of definitions, so it is simply a matter of listing out one attribute :)

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.
