hi folks,

i have some questions on using struts with tiles and the corresponding error-handling.

we've created a tiles-defintion mainLayout:

        <definition name="mainLayout" path="/layout/basicLayout.jsp">
                <put name="banner" value="/layout/common/banner.jsp" />
                        ...
                <put name="footer" value="/layout/common/footer.jsp" />
        </definition>

from which other definitions were derived (e.g. a page displaying a contact-form):

        <definition name="contact" extends="mainLayout">
                <put name="content" value="/pages/contact.jsp" />
        </definition>

including the following action-mapping (and fitting form-bean):

        <action path="/ContactAction"
                type="ContactAction"                                                      
    name="ContactForm"
                scope="request"
                validate="true"
                parameter="contact"
                input="/Contact.do">
             <forward name="success" path="mainLayout" />
             <forward name="failure" path="error" />
        </action>

we met the following problem:

when a validation-error or an exception appears, the banner-tile in mainLayout should be replaced with error-banner-tile. in fact there is the possibility to use forward-directive on failure (not on validation), but we want to remain on the same input-page (contact) with just another error-banner-tile included on validation-error or exception.

is there any handy possibility to solve that problem? or is it the only way to create a additional error-tile-definition for every page?

thanks for helping.

  andy
