Hey Cedric.
Right, as of 30 mins ago I got tiles & sub apps to work together
grudingly :-)
That patch to RequestUtils.selectApplication fixes the problems I
thought it would and does not seem to have any side effects (i.e. the
old frames based version continues to work fine). I will submit this as
a bug (as I believe that it affects any include of action, not
specifially tiles related)
Anyway, that worked fine for a bit, right up until I redirected to a
jsp from the definition and tried to use a sub application form on the
page. If the definition went to an action, and that action redirected to
a jsp, it worked fine. Otherwise I get an unable to find mapping error
for my sub app action.
Same kind of problem again, no sub application is selected. So to get
around this problem I built a tag called selectApplication which simply
calls RequestUtils.selectApplication and placed this on the page... and
it works. Now that one im not sure about - you can't jump on all jsp
includes from struts, and say placing the call to selectApplication
inside perhaps html:base isn't going to help a tiles application.
But for the time being it is working so I'm happy :-)
Cheers
Ian

Hello,
One goals of Tiles is to enable reuse and to avoid copy/paste. So,
having to
copy same layouts in all sub-applications is not what we expect.
Consequently, the actual behavior that you describe sound like a bug
;-). I
have to dig a little bit to see what can be done. If you have more
info, let me
know.
