Antonio, Thanks a lot for the response. The reason I was thinking it would be possible is that I've seen such functionality in action in IBM Rational Application Developer 7, which has a Web Page Template that allows users/developers to create dynamic web pages based on tiles (albeit older version of Tiles). But, basically once the developer puts in basic information about the Web Page Template, RAD creates the appropriate definitions at run-time and updates the tiles-defs.xml with the new definitions.
Although this approach is for an IDE, I'd bet there should be way to do it on a application server or even a Portal. And talking about Portal, would it be possible for you to update the documentation for "Starting Tiles in Portlet application" (http://tiles.apache.org/tutorial/configuration.html)? thanks and a Happy New Year. regards, Ninad. ----- Original Message ---- From: Antonio Petrelli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: users@tiles.apache.org Sent: Wednesday, January 2, 2008 4:42:02 AM Subject: Re: Runtime Composition using APIs 2007/12/26, Ninad Tambe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I was looking into using APIs to create and manipulate > the Tiles definitons, templates.

Yes, it is true. If it is, is any way to do it? I suppose that you can do it, but it is not supported by Tiles out of the box. Tiles definitions files are read-only, runtime-created definitions are valid only during the request.
