Neal,
thx for your prompt reply. Here's the - in my view - relevant snippet from
my topmost layout JSP:
<%-- BEGIN MAIN CONTENT AREA --%>
<f:verbatim>
<div id="content">
</f:verbatim>
<f:subview id="contentView">
<tiles:insert attribute="content" flush="false" />
</f:subview>
<f:verbatim>
</div>
</f:verbatim>
<%-- END MAIN CONTENT --%>
Here's the tile /organization/searchForm.jsp which won't get compiled:
<h:form id="organizationSearchForm">
<f:verbatim>
<h1>
</f:verbatim>
<h:outputText value="#{msg['organization.headline.search']}" />
<f:verbatim>
</h1>
</f:verbatim>
<h:panelGrid columns="3">
<h:outputText
value="#{msg['organization.label.searchform.byCommonFields']}" />
<h:inputText id="byCommonFieldsSearchString" styleClass="ewsgrey"
value="#{organizationSearch.searchString}" />
<x:commandButton id="byCommonFieldsBtn" styleClass="ewsgrey"
action="#{organizationSearch.searchByCommonFields}"
image="#{msg['common.image.searchBtn']}" />
[more rows]
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
but this - /common/startPage.jsp will:
<%@ include file="./inc/taglibs.inc" %>
<f:verbatim>
<h1>
</f:verbatim>
<h:outputText value="#{msg['common.headline.home']}" />
<f:verbatim>
</h1>
</f:verbatim>
As I said in my original post: If I swap the contents of searchForm.jsp and
startPage.jsp I can see the correct output for searchForm.jsp, but now
startPage.jsp will be copied verbatim into the final HTML page. I think it
was Arthur C. Clarke who said: "Any sufficiently advanced technology will be
indistinguishable from magic." Glad that I happen to see this in my days ;-)
Cheers,
Olaf
