Action mapping to a Tile
I'm trying to set an action mapping to a tile.

Re: Action mapping to a Tile
just out of curiosity, did you mean to write a href=pages/Tester.doTest/a

Using do denotes an actual form action whereas I just want the activation of a generated page by tiles. I suppose I could call it pages/Tester.tile. This way I can keep all my tiles in the struts-config.xml instead of lots of 1 or 2 line jsp files. G. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Graham Reeds wrote: I have a jsp page with a link to Tester: a href=pages/TesterTest/a Oh, wait. See, I don't think that will work. If you use an html:link action=pages/TesterTest/html:link that should do it. a href=... doesn't know about struts. Are you mapping with *.do? If so, then how would you expect an a href=pages/Tester... to be able to find the page? In my struts-config.xml I have a forward mapped: action path=pages/Tester forward=Test.page / Put the leading / in there anyway and put it in your link tag. Otherwise I get nervous. However this gives a 404 for the page test/pages/Tester Your webapp is under 'test'? (Just for completeness of info.) I've never had any real issues with tiles so I suspect you're just not paying attention to the docs :) Dave - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Action mapping to a Tile
Your webapp is under 'test'? (Just for completeness of info.) Yes it is. Now with the above changes and I also read that tiles have a convention of prefixing period (.) so that has been changed I still get a 404 but with the new error message of Invalid path /Tester was requested struts-config.xml: action path=/Tester.do forward=.Tester / tiles-defs.xml: definition name=.Tester extends=Main.layout put name=title value=Test / /definition Home.jsp: html:link action=/Tester.doTester/html:link Is there anything else I should be doing? I've never had any real issues with tiles so I suspect you're just not paying attention to the docs :) rant What docs there are: The Tiles tutorial on Cedric Dumoulin is 4 years old and is written for someone who already understands Struts Tiles, which is something I have seen with a lot of struts tutorials - they are written from the perspective of someone who already understands the Struts. The books are even worse, but that is the nature of authorship - by the time you have written, proof-read, typeset, reviewed and printed the book 1 to 2 years have passed and by that time what you are writing about has passed. Hence most books are for Struts 1.02 and 1.1 - not 1.2x. I suppose that there will be books for 1.3 but I hope that they improve on the examples (table is for displaying tabulated data - no page layout). /rant - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Action mapping to a Tile
On a related theme... Is it possible to set it up so the application automatically starts with a page from the tile-def.xml bypassing jsp's entirely... I suppose you could do a forward from within index.jsp but why waste processor power:-) G. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
