I think you are confused. By `Templates' I am talking abouts `Layout files'
as in Tiles layout files, not Struts 1.0 template taglibs.
I should have also mentioned that in the monolithic JSP design
I am using the classic header/menu/content/footer layout as
described in "Struts In Action" et al in a dozen or so pages.
The problem is subdivision of the "content" part where I can
see that large parts of the site has shareable page areas,
and others are distinctly unique. I could replicate the core page
and tile design ad infinitum, but there has to be a better way.
