I'm still stuck on this. Can anyone help?
Have tried as suggested using a tile as the 'value' of a put.
Here are the definitions from tiles-defs:
<definition name="master" path="/layout/master_layout.jsp">
</definition>
<definition name="search_base" path="/layout/search_layout.jsp" />
<definition name="search_form" extends="master">
<put name="body" value="search_base" />
<put name="form" value="/pageComponents/form.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="search_results" extends="master">
<put name="body" value="search_base" />
<put name="form" value="/pageComponents/form.jsp" />
<put name="results" value="/pageComponents/results.jsp" />
</definition>
I hope it's clear here what I'm trying to do although in this case it's
fairly trivial.
To the user there are two pages: a search page and a results page.
Both pages have the search form and the second also has results.
This is only a simplification as an example. The real situation is more
complicated but the principle is the same.
In the above example when the user first requests the search page I want to
forward to a tile that inserts just the form onto the page. Then when the
form is submitted I want to forward to a tile that also inserts the results.
I have tried to do this with the tiles 'search_form' and 'search_results'.
They both extend the master tile, but take the generic 'search_base' tile as
body. I am then putting the extra parts that the 'search_base' will need.
But struts returns:
ServletException in '/layout/search_layout.jsp': Error - Tag Insert : No
value found for attribute 'form'.
Here is /layout/master_layout.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-html"; prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles"
%>
<html:html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<tiles:insert attribute="body" />
</body>
</html:html>
Here is /layout/search_layout.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles"
%>
<table width="100%">
<tr><td><tiles:insert attribute="form" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><tiles:insert attribute="results" ignore="true" /></td></tr>
</table>
Thanks in advance.

Are you saying that the 'put' tag can take a another tile as its 'value'
attribute? I think this could be the answer, but I haven't noticed this in
the documentation - does anyone know of any examples online?

Kevin,
Follow this example. It uses a master layout [A] and then an inner layout
[B]. You need to envision that the body content of A is B, and the body
content of B is C.
<definition name="search_form_base" path="/layout/search_form_layout.jsp">
<-- A
<put name="FilterA" value="/pageComponents/FilterA.jsp" />
<put name="FilterB" value="search_form_view" /> <-- B </definition>
<definition name="search_form_view" path="/pageComponents/FilterB.jsp"> <--
B
<put name="Button1" value="/pageComponents/Button1.jsp" /> <-- C
</definition>
