What are the downsides to using the body wrap technique?

Hello,




<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles" %>

<tiles:insertDefinition name="myapp.homepage" flush="true">
        <tiles:putAttribute name="body" type="string">
                
                <!-- begin developer work area  -->
                <div id="section">
                        <h2>Section Title</h2>
                        <p>descriptive text here</p>
                </div>
                <!-- end developer work area  -->
                
        </tiles:putAttribute>
</tiles:insertDefinition>

Are there any downsides to this body wrap implementation?

Thanks,

I'm a web designer working on a software team. I'm evaluating Tiles as a solution for us to implement UI templates for our app. I read a bit about a body wrap technique, that enables me to do this: In the example above, instead of using the body attribute described in the template, I'm inserting my own as a string, right from this jsp. I like this because I don't have to define a new template for each each page that requires ONLY a different body area - I can use one template for all the page, and override the piece that needs to be different. The body area does not need be reused elsewhere in the app. I learned about this technique here:
