Problem sharing Tiles between applications (2)
Greetings: Perhaps you can help me with a real problem I am having using Tiles. I have an understanding of how to use Tiles; I have several pages that use several parts of JSPs, as illustrated by the example below: <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %> The names of the JSPs (and the parameters) should speak for themselves. I have several pages within my application which reuse the "banner", "menu", and "footer" pages. My problem arises when I attempt to use these same pages in another application. What I tried to do is create another application and have it point to the same "banner", "menu", and "footer" pages. The exact pages. What I want to do is have a common directory that has toppart.jspf, menu.jspf, and footer.jspf, and have more than one application go to that directory for those files. Unfortunately, it appears that the different applications always look for a subdirectory under their context root for the files in question -- especially if those applications are packaged in EAR files. When I try to make one application go to another for the JSPs in question, an exception is thrown because the tag cannot fnd the files. Has anyone else run into this problem that you know of? Is there a possible solution? I would rather be able to reuse parts of JSPs between applications; after all, the banner, menu, and footer are common across the applications they will be used for. I do not want to have to have multiple copies of these files; after all, isn't that what Tiles is supposed to help avoid??? Can you give some insight into this matter? Thank You. -Robert Brown III - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
