I did not test it, but, in theory, you can use Tiles at portlet-level (not portal). One thing that makes it difficult is that each portal has its' own way of > setting layouts/themes, making it difficult to use Tiles as a template for > layout.

I have no pointers sincerely, but ask this in the Tiles Developers list: http://tiles.apache.org/mail-lists.html Also, going back to your previous response, if Tiles definitions' cannot be > changed at runtime (by persisting it), can I put all these definitions in DB > instead? I have seen that the DigesterDefinitionsReader can actually read > definitions (although raw) from DB. Would I be able to use that? It depends on how you store them. My opinion is that you have to create a new implementation of DefinitionsReader, because the DigesterDefinitionsReader is based upon the fact that the definitions are stored in an XML file. Since I suppose that you want to take changes at definitions immediately, I think you have to create an implementation of DefinitionsFactory (possibly using the UrlDefinitionsFactory class as a basis).
