If you are extending mainLayout you must have itemcount and pagecount defined in mainLayout, and so on. Extending a tile you are using the same layout and replacing specific pieces of that layout.
I've done something like this in the past: <tiles-definitions> <definition name="ipets.default" path="/layout/default.jsp"> <put name="title" value="iPETS" direct="true" /> <put name="auxnav" value="/common/auxnav.jsp"/> <put name="header" value="/common/header.jsp"/> <put name="menu" value="/common/menu.jsp"/> <put name="bodycontent" value="/home.jsp"/> <put name="footer" value="/common/footer.jsp"/> <put name="copyright" value="/common/copyright.jsp"/> </definition> <definition name="ipets.specialist" extends="ipets.default"> <put name="title" value="iPETS - Specialist Page" /> <put name="bodycontent" value="/specialist/specialistDetail.jsp"/> </definition> <definition name="ipets.probationary" extends="ipets.default"> <put name="title" value="iPETS - Probationary Page" /> <put name="bodycontent" value="/specialist/probList.jsp"/> </definition> </tiles-definitions> Gary >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1/25/2006 1:57:23 PM >>> Hi, I am new to tiles and I'm trying to do some thing like this: <definition name="mainLayout" path="/mainLayout.jsp"> <put name="head" value="/head.jsp" type="page" /> <put name="main" value="/main.jsp" type="page" /> </definition> <definition name="subLayout" path="/jsp/layouts/layout_inserate.jsp" extends="mainLayout"> <put name="itemcount" value="/itemcount.jsp" /> <put name="pagecount" value="/pagecount.jsp" /> </definition> <definition name="myTile" extends="subLayout"> <put name="data" value="/data.jsp"/> </definition> I want the subLayout to inherit the mainLayout's definition and the tile "myTile" to extend the subLayout. Is this possible in any way? Or does anybody know a tutorial about tiles with more levels of depth?
