One, possibly hokie way, of doing this would be to use parameters in your resources.
For example, say your error resource is defined as
foo.error=Don't ever {0}
and then you can create an error as
ActionError a = new ActionError("foo.error", "do that again.");
the following JSP will display "Don't ever do that again".
<html:errors property="foo.error"/>
A limiting case of this would be where foo.error is defined as follows
foo.error={0}
This makes the *entire* text of foo.error dynamic.

I have a root page layout tile that is something like:
<%@ include file="header.jsp" %>
<table....>
.
.
<tiles:insert attribute="nav"/>
.
.
<tiles:insert attribute="body"/>
.
.
</table>
My individual tiles extend the layout tile. The extensions in turn specify the actual
the values for the 'title' and 'body' attributes. However, I don't have to repeat
'header.jsp'.
