But why would you do an html:link to a jsp? Link to an action. (even if it is just a ForwardAction) and then forward to the definition now you only need to write the layout.jsp that can be "standardized" across the site, and put different bodies and such in it as needed.

Yes, I am using tiles-def.xml If mylayout.jsp is defined in tiles-def.xml, do I have to write a mylayout.jsp? If yes, then I have to write 2 jsp files for each change of body layout. <td> <html:link page="/mylayout.jsp"> </html:link> </td> Can I write only 1 jsp file for each change of body layout?
