Eric is correct. If you use the tiles-def.xml file you can get rid of a lot of duplication. In this case you could do exactly what you want by creating definitions in the xml that extend the original and only change the body portion.
<definition name=".default" path="/mylayout.jsp"> <put name=header".../> <put name="body" value="myBody.jsp"/> <put name="left".../> <put name="footer".../> </definition> <definition name=".child" extends=".default"> <put name="body" value="/UserAccountMaintBody.jsp"/> </definition> To me it is a lot easier to use the tiles-def.xml than it is to use the tiles taglib to do the "grunt" work. And I have one place to go to edit things if I later decide I want a new footer, or header in my child I go to the tiles-def.xml regardless of where the page is. (I don't have to have several JSP's with tiles inserts in them that I have to go and edit.)

I think if you use the tiles-defs.xml configuration properly you can eliminate lots of files. But I don't use that file yet. -Eric >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/2/2005 12:53:59 PM >>> I do not think it's possible...
