Hue, Dirk, Thanks for your input. I tried with <tiles:put name="body" direct="true"> and found that to work just great.
Maybe I shouldn't care, but Dirk, do you know a subtle advantage to using type="string" instead of direct="true"? I'm quite happy, I'm just getting started on this app, but I can go back through on the limited number of files that I have and merge the body file for each presentation item, keeping the source tree more manageable for the future. have a great day, -b > -----Original Message----- > From: Hue Holleran [mailto:hueh@;softwareskills.net] > Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 10:44 AM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: RE: Merging Tiles body into tile definition > > > Sorry if this is lame, do you need a direct="true" on the > <tiles:put name="body" ... never tried doing this but I > assume you're using a <tiles:insert...> not a > <tiles:getAsString...> in the template so you may need to > indicate direct here? > > Hue. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Topping [mailto:topping@;digidemic.com] > Sent: 08 November 2002 15:39 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Merging Tiles body into tile definition > > > Good day all, happy Friday! > > I'm building another application using tiles (hopefully this > one will ship > sooner than the others :-) and coming across the geometric > explosion of tiles > and body files, wondering if there is a solution that others > are using that I > might be able to take advantage of. > > The basic problem is that of having one file for the > "tiles:insert" statement > and the tiles body file that it references.
