Hi > I was afraid that would be the answer :-( I really wanted to avoid having files with page fragments that weren't well formed like that... I'll have to dig into the Tiles code and see how ameanable the rendering model is to being 'masaged' into supporting what I want it to do :-)
I was a beginner too, so don't be so cruel with yourself ;-) By the way, if you want to make something complicated, remember that you can put ANY URL in your <put> element. For example, I put an Action's URL, so that it loads some data. This Action forwards to a JSP page that will be displayed only in that part of the page. > > What's wrong with starting tiles names with '/' by the way? I seem to remember that Struts complained when I didn't, though I've been doing it this way long enough I don't recall the details. Page definitions are not recognized as correct paths by Struts, so that you cannot call a page definition directly with an URL (please Struts team correct me if I am wrong). You have two possibilities two show a Tiles definition: 1. Through a JSP page, using: <tiles:insert definition="nameofthedefinition" /> 2. You can forward to a tiles definition, i.e. in your struts config you can use: <forward name="forwardname" path="nameofthedefinition" /> but you must modify the <controller> element in your struts-config.xml: <controller processorClass="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor"/> Ciao Antonio Petrelli --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
