I have a Struts2 application: Struts version is 2.0.12 and Tiles is
2.0.4. Have also jars for commons-beanutil 1.8, digester 1.8, logging
1.04 and api 1.1. IDE is MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench 6.5.1.
I have a "HelloWorld" action that calls a Tiles definition. The
action (in struts.xml) is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd";>
<struts>
<package name="default" extends="struts-default" namespace="/">
<result-types>
<result-type name="tiles"
class="org.apache.struts2.views.tiles.TilesResult" />
</result-types>
<action name="HelloWorld"
class="org.rochesterDeltas.tutorial.HelloWorld">
<result type="tiles">MainPage</result>
</action>
and the Tiles definition (in tiles.xml) is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 2.0//EN"
"http://tiles.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_2_0.dtd";>
<tiles-definitions>
<definition name="MainPage" template="WEB-INF/tiles/template.jsp">
<put-attribute name="pageTitle" value="Test Template Page #4" />
<put-attribute name="header" value="WEB-INF/tiles/header.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="navigationOne" value="WEB-INF/tiles/menuOne.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="body" value="WEB-INF/tiles/home_body.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="footer" value="WEB-INF/tiles/footer.jsp" />
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
Here is the template.jsp (all jsp files are under WEB-INF/tiles/:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<%@ taglib uri = "http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles"%>
<html>
<head>
<title><tiles:getAsString name="pageTitle"/></title>
<style type="text/css">@import uri("../../delta.css");</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="bgcontain">
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<tiles:getAsString name="header" />
</div>
<div id="leftwrap">
<div id="content">
<tiles:insertAttribute name="body" />
</div>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="navigationOne" />
</div>
<div id="rightbar">
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<tiles:insertAttribute name="footer" />
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
When the action is called, it renders this page (with the correct text
in the title):
WEB-INF/tiles/header.jsp
WEB-INF/tiles/home_body.jsp
WEB-INF/tiles/menuOne.jsp
WEB-INF/tiles/footer.jsp
In other words, the template.jsp is being rendered, "getText is
working correctly, but, "insertAttribute" renders the path as a
string. Can someone tell me where I'm wrong?
