Re: Tiles Two JSP's for Displaying One Form .
No, it should be more like 40 + 1 per re-usable tile component I set up a 'master page' with the basic layout, and perhaps a 'menu' include containing my menu buttons / links, and then the tiles definition just inserts the content into a definition derived from the master page layout. And that is all done in the tiles-config.xml file So you might have 40 definitions in your tiles config + 40 body content JSPs, but certainly not 80 JSPs. or at least that's my way of thinking on the matter -jeff On Tuesday, June 3, 2003, at 07:41 AM, Nimish Chourey , Tidel Park - Chennai wrote: Hi , In my application there may be around 40 forms .

Re: Tiles Two JSP's for Displaying One Form .
I don't think so, but here's an example from my tiles-config file: Master Page - the layout inserts a 'header' containing a logo/image has 'empty' slots for menu, body definition name=order_entry.masterPage path=/WEB-INF/pages/layout/torchHeaderLayout.jsp put name=title value= / put name=header value=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/header.jsp / put name=menu value=/WEB-INF/pages/layout/emptyTile.jsp / put name=body value=/WEB-INF/pages/layout/emptyTile.jsp / put name=body-background value=../../../images/background.gif / /definition 'masterMenu' - just inserts the menu, to be used subsequently as a template for other pages that want a menu on them definition name=order_entry.masterMenu extends=order_entry.masterPage put name=menu value=/WEB-INF/pages/tiles/menu.jsp / /definition A typical page - extends the master Menu - only adds 1 jsp definition name=order_entry.accession.SearchByAccession extends=order_entry.masterMenu put name=title value=Search By Accession Number / put name=body value=/WEB-INF/pages/accession/SearchByAccessionNumber.jsp / /definition Sure, I had a few 'helper' JSP pages, but from now on, as long as they just use the master or menu Master, they just need to add 1 JSP + an entry in this tiles-config.xml file. -jeff On Tuesday, June 3, 2003, at 08:15 AM, Nimish Chourey , Tidel Park - Chennai wrote: And you need to have 40 JSP's to insert those 40 Definintions ...

RE: Tiles Two JSP's for Displaying One Form .
Right, your index.jsp is my plain_layout.jsp. You only see it once right? And every page is built from that template. So, like I said, at first you have a few extra pages. Oh, looking closely I see... You don't need to insert a definition in a page. You use the definition in the mappings. Your index.jsp (I would name it better like I did) does the insert of the JSPs which are declared in your defs (which ones to insert). Your index.jsp should look like this: %@ page session=false contentType=text/html;charset=UTF-8 language=java buffer=64kb autoFlush=true % %@ taglib uri=/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld prefix=tiles % %-- Layout Tiles This layout render a header, body and footer. @param title String use in page title @param header Header tile (jsp url or definition name) @param body Body @param footer Footer --% html link href=/css/acint21.css type=text/css rel=stylesheet table width='100%' !-- Create a request scopt attribute -- tiles:useAttribute name=title scope=request/ !-- Insert page header into template -- trtd colspan='2' align='left' head tiles:insert attribute='header' !-- pass the title to the header -- tiles:put name=title beanName=title beanScope=request/ /tiles:insert /head /td/tr !-- Insert page title into template -- body bgcolor=#ff text=#00 link=#023264 alink=#023264 vlink=#023264 tr td class=pageTitle strongtiles:getAsString name=title //strong /td /tr trtd colspan='2' align='left' height='10' /td/tr !-- Insert page content into template -- tr align=middletd tiles:insert attribute='body' / /td /tr !-- Insert page footer into template -- trtd colspan='2' align='middle' tiles:insert attribute='footer' / /td/tr /table /body /html -Original Message- From: Nimish Chourey , Tidel Park - Chennai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 10:00 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Tiles Two JSP's for Displaying One Form .

Re: Tiles Two JSP's for Displaying One Form .
politelyI think you're still missing something./politely Now you have the tiles named in the tiles-config file, you can name them as the input or forward in the struts-config file. You don't have to have a page that does nothing but include other pages. There may be some page generated on your behalf, but you don't have to write it - just name the appropriate content= (if that's what you called it in your tiles-config file) and IT does the include for you. -jeff On Tuesday, June 3, 2003, at 09:00 AM, Nimish Chourey , Tidel Park - Chennai wrote: Hi I agree with you ..

OK, Im missing something. Doesn't matter. Every time I want new page I only create one JSP now that my template is set up. That's all I care about. And it works great.

RE: Tiles Two JSP's for Displaying One Form .
Hi, If you go by the tiles Definition approach, you just write one jsp per page and U dont need to write another jsp which will assemble all jsps together(in most of the cases). And the task of assembling the various portions for the page(In case of a classic layout, the header,footer,menu and content)is done by definition.This definition is done in an xml file(tiles-defs.xml.) And then from action mapping , u can directly call this definition as forward. Following is example. STEP 1: I have classic layout.So i will have one definition for classic layout as follows(in tiles.defs.xml..). !-- Master definition -- !-- Classic layout used as root for other pages -- !-- === -- definition name=eq.base.classicLayout path=/WEB-INF/jsp/tiles/classicLayout_template.jsp put name=headervalue=/WEB-INF/jsp/tiles/header.jsp / put name=navigationvalue=/WEB-INF/jsp/tiles/sidebar.jsp / put name=content value=specify content here./ put name=footervalue=/WEB-INF/jsp/tiles/footer.jsp / /definition STEP2: Then i need to create myHomePAge which will have classic layout but only the content portion has to be different.So i will add another definition as follows. definition name=eq.ps.homepage extends=eq.base.equateLayout put name=content value=/WEB-INF/jsp/pages/ps/myhomepage.jsp/ /definition As u can see, i have just overridden what i need to.rest is taken from the super definition. Step3: In the struts configiguration file, while defining the action mapping, instead of using the jsp name in the forward,use the definition name as follows. action path=/openHomepage type=HomepageOpenAction name=homepageForm scope=request forwardname=homepage path= eq.ps.homepage / /action Thats it.So if i need another page, i will add another definition extending the classicLayout definition.And refere to it directly from struts config file.

RE: Tiles Two JSP's for Displaying One Form .
U can do that.. Create a globel forward(Because if you are using forwards with links, they have to be global forwards.) forward name=myLinkl path=/MyDefinitionAction.do/ Then create a action mapping for the path. action path=/MyDefinitionAction type=aa.ScreenForwardingAction name=SomeForm forward name=success path=tiles.definition/ /action Here the screen forwarding action does nothing but just does a forward to successTHis can be used any where just by defining different success forward.

RE: Tiles Two JSP's for Displaying One Form .
Jeff, I see we are in agreement. :) Anyway, if the guy thinks of a def as a JSP (which it is completed) then he shouldn't go to it directly from another JSP. It is Model 1 to do such things. So I just thought about how Tiles almost forces Model 2!! -Original Message- From: Jeff Kyser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 10:48 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Tiles Two JSP's for Displaying One Form .

concerning the homepage setup, i did this: - global-forwards forward name=home path=/home.do / - (home.def contains homepage body) action path=/home forward=home.def scope=request validate=false / - tiles did not seem to work with ForwardAction action path=/home type=orgForwardAction scope=request validate=false forward name=success path=home.def/ /action -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: dinsdag 3 juni 2003 17:16 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: RE: Tiles Two JSP's for Displaying One Form . U can do that.. Create a globel forward(Because if you are using forwards with links, they have to be global forwards.) forward name=myLinkl path=/MyDefinitionAction.do/ Then create a action mapping for the path. action path=/MyDefinitionAction type=aa.ScreenForwardingAction name=SomeForm forward name=success path=tiles.definition/ /action Here the screen forwarding action does nothing but just does a forward to successTHis can be used any where just by defining different success forward.
