The template is like a super class, include jsp is like a subclass, can you
inherit super class imports in your subclass? No.

excellent, that is awesome!
no way to make individual prefix based on class though? :(

One, possibly hokie way, of doing this would be to use parameters in your resources.  
For example, say your error resource is defined as

foo.error=Don't ever {0}

and then you can create an error as 

ActionError a = new ActionError("foo.error", "do that again.");

the following JSP will display "Don't ever do that again".



A limiting case of this would be where foo.error is defined as follows

foo.error={0}

This makes the *entire* text of foo.error dynamic.

I have a root page layout tile that is something like:

<%@ include file="header.jsp" %>

  .
  .

My individual tiles extend the layout tile.  The extensions in turn specify the actual 
the values for the 'title' and 'body' attributes.  However, I don't have to repeat 
'header.jsp'.

Re: a couple of questions

[Joseph Fifield]

I extended the ErrorsTag to add a feature very similar to this, for a
slightly different reason. I wanted to display all global errors at the top
of the screen, and all field specific errors below it's respective form
field. However, for this to look right, I needed a different set of prefixes
and suffixes, which I called a "decoration set", for global errors and field
errors. I added a property called decorationSet, which indicated the set of
resource keys to use for this instance. A decorationSet of "global" would
result in using the keys errors.global.prefix, etc. Maybe something like
this is useful to others? And maybe someone can come up with a better name
than decoration set?
