Thanks for your response David. Correct me if I'm
wrong, but isn't this exactly what I had in my
example? Maybe I'm just not grasping something...
It looks to me like I'm still having to add two
<definition> blocks for each form I want to add.
Under your "form_page" definition you point to form1
-OR- form2. But in reality can't you only have one or
the other? I have an struts action pointing to each
form so wouldn't I have to do something like...
<definition name="page" path="page.jsp"/>
<definition name="form_page1" extends="page">
<put name="body" value="form1">
</definition>
<definition name="form_page2" extends="page">
<put name="body" value="form2">
</definition>
<definition name="form1" path="form_wrapper.jsp">
<put name="body" value="form1.jsp"/>
<definition>
<definition name="form2" path="form_wrapper.jsp">
<put name="body" value="form2.jsp"/>
<definition>
So I would have an action pointing to "form_page1" and
an action pointing two "form_page2". But I would have
to add two definitions to my tiles-config file for
each form. It just seems redundant to me.
Sorry if I'm being dense, your patience is much
appreciated :-)
