Dynamic Tiles?

I'm wondering if Tiles provides support for choosing a Tile dynamically, i.e., programatically at runtime. Our business users have the capability to not only modify include files, but to create new include file directories based on client defined data. We're looking for a way to support this in

Re: Dynamic Tiles xml definitions

Yes, it is possible. You can access the definition factory, and modify definitions yourself. This require a well understanding of the structure, because a lot of object are shared, especially when their is some inheritance. Also, you can write your own definition factory implementing the

Dynamic Tiles xml definitions

I've just started to use Tiles and Struts together. I have a question regarding the xml definitions loaded into memory. My question is would it be possible to parse / modify the definition file at runtime To say switch the template ? Mark

Re: Dynamic tiles (attn: Cedric)

If the actionForward contains a definition name, the definition is retrieved, and missing attributes are added to your definition. Otherwise, ActionForward has no effect, and I think you should be able to return null. Jim Crossley wrote: One more question... ComponentDefinition

Dynamic tiles (attn: Cedric)

I've just started using Tiles, and I really like it. I want to be able to overload my attributes in my struts actions prior to forwarding to the tiles definitions, but I'm having some trouble. I found this message in the archives:

Re: Dynamic tiles (attn: Cedric)

First, check that you use tilesForStruts1.0.jar, as you are using Struts1.0.1. Second, check if your tiles/struts1.0.1 installation works : * install tiles-doc.jar or struts-tiles.jar * replace WEB-INF/lib/struts.jar with struts.jar from 1.0.1 * replace tiles.jar with

Re: Dynamic tiles (attn: Cedric)

I don't mean to be a bondhead, but all I did was copy the tiles-doc.jar to Tomcat's webapps directory. Wouldn't it be bundled with the correct struts version? The page, /test/testStrutsAction.jsp, *does* run correctly, but /test/testAction.do does not. It's the latter that seems to be what I

Re: Dynamic tiles (attn: Cedric)

tiles-doc.jar is shipped with Struts1.1 previous than 15 jan, and is ready to run. So you can try the mentioned url test directly on it, and it should run. If not, let me know. However, you have mentioned that you try to use Tiles with Struts1.0.1. If true, you need to use

Re: Dynamic tiles (attn: Cedric)

Ok, after looking at testStrutsAction.jsp, I realized that testAction.do is not doing exactly what I thought it was, and invoking it standalone was never going to work anyway. I'm now beginning to think that what I really need is a Controller, so I'm going to focus my efforts there for now. The

Re: Dynamic tiles (attn: Cedric)

So your install seem to work perfectly. Sorry for the wrong response before, it is what happen when you do to much things in the same time. It is normal that the componentContext is not found if you access directly the action (with *.do). The context is set when the tile is inserted, or

Dynamic tiles definitions (was Re: tiles vs templates or both)

Hi, There is several way to have dynamic definition. The first one is to write your own definitions factory implementing 'ComponentDefinitionsFactory'. The getDefinition() method is called each time you insert a definition. So you can implement your own to serve your dynamic definition.
