I created a feature request to add tiles2 support to tomahawk: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-1115 Perhaps you could vote on it and help get this going ? -Steve More On 9/17/07, Chris Pratt <the......om> wrote: > On 9/6/07, Chris Pratt <the......om> wrote: > > On 9/6/07, Ray Clough <rcc....om> wrote: > > > Are you remembering to set flush=false, and include everything in a > > > subview, which we do like this in our 'template.jspx" file: > > > > > > <f:subview id="menu"> > > > <tiles:insertAttribute name="menu" flush="false" /> > > > </f:subview> > > > > > > - Ray Clough > > > > > > > > > > > Yup, the layout.jsp is basically: > > > > <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f"%> > > <%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles" %> > > <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" > > "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> > > <f:view> > > <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en"> > > <head> > > <title><tiles:insertAttribute name="title"/></title> > > </head> > > <body> > > <tiles:insertAttribute name="body" flush="false" ignore="true"/> > > </body> > > </html> > > </f:view> > > > > And I'm not creating a sub-view since the included body is a simple <p> tag. > > > > But I'm not sure you've seen my latest post, It seemed to have > > something to do with the relative reference generated in the > > dispatchToTile method in the ViewHandler.
