David.

Thank you very much. I knew I was missing something very simple. I had 2
books I had been referencing, Programming Jakarta Struts and Struts In
Action. I guess I missed the forward thing in those docs.

Thanks again, its working great.

RE: Tiles Definition problem

[David Friedman]

Bryce,

To show a tile inside an independent, externally
usable JSP, you're going in the wrong direction.
I also suggested this broken path so let me help
you get on the right path. These below 2 lines are
all you need in your index.jsp to invoke your tile.
I have included some explanations below on why the
other methods didn't work.  Your taglib URL might
be different, so be sure to check your web.xml file.

<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-tiles" prefix="tiles" %>


You were using a logic:redirect tag.  I even wrote
to you to take out the 'redirect="true"' and use
the forward.  I didn't think it out clearly.  A
logic redirect tag forces the container to kick
out a redirect which tells your browser to try
the URL:

http://localhost:8080/default.layout

The problem is, that url isn't real.  It is a tile and
tiles cannot be accessed over the web that way.  They
can only be accessed within Struts or within pages
in a way that is very different from the struts-logic
tags.  I was next going to suggest the more logical
logic:forward tag, but the documents on Struts 1.1 note
it cannot be used with tiles:

> Note: forwarding to Tiles definitions is not
> supported from this tag. You should forward
> to them from an Action subclass.

>From my perspective, you can either setup an action
such as '/testtiles.do' to go to the tile:



Or force the JSP to import the tile definition and
display it using a JSP made of two simple lines:

<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-tiles" prefix="tiles" %>


I might use this method for my application's main
homepage /index.jsp, just to remove the initial
redirect that I might otherwise use (as it slows
the user down a second or two as they get the HTTP
redirect and ask for the new /index.do page).  For
everything else, I think I'll be consistent and use
actions (*.do) for external access, not JSPs.

Regards,
David

Bryce,

You don't have to write the path wbeginning witha a slash.

RE: Tiles Definition problem

[David Friedman]

Bryce,

Try taking our your leading slash on the /default.layout tile reference:


If you didn't put a slash in your tile name, don't use it with a slash in
your definition.  Tiles are specific to the 'name="something"', not path
specific.

David

I'm going to describe my problem, then list the appropriate files below.

I'm new with tiles, and am trying to get a simple tiles-definition
working.

Here's what I did:

1. I create a file called tiles-def.xml, and put it in my WEB-INF
directory (listed below)

2. Make sure my definitiions-config property is set for the TilesPlugin.

3. While I'm in the struts-config, I set up a forward for my definition
(see below).

4. I have verified that the individual tiles and layouts do exist and
seem to be correct.

typing: http://localhost:8080/testtiles

I end up getting a 404: The requested resource (/testtiles/default.layout)
is not available.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying here, but I think I know 
where you are heading...

You action mapping looks okay... When your action sends it to wiz1, it 
will go to the tiles definition below and build it there...

Is this what you were looking for?

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the Tiles definitions to define my
pages, and not have JSP pages assembling the tiles. I
can get Tiles to recognize a named definition for the
header element, but I can't get it to use a named
definition for the main page (the action forward). See
the files below. If I set the forward for "input1" to
wiz1.jsp, then it works fine. But I want to use the
definition "wiz1" and avoid having a wiz1.jsp. When I
set the action forward to "wiz1" I get a file not
found error.

Things are basically working since the header
definition works. But the page definition isn't.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Dave
