Thanks David for your reply! Sorry about the puny example ;-) Essentially, as you described, I want to dynamically insert a tile definition into my JSP based on some conditions. Definitely, having that condition set either from an action or action listener is a better approach. I have already implemented a rudimentary controller that examines the request scope for a specific variable.
I have search around the web, but with no luck, for a tutorial that really describes the various usage of a Tile controller (i.e. dynamically inserting a tile definition). Do you know if such a tutorial exist? If so, I would appreciate a link.
