tiles, modules & tiles-defs

[Nathan Coast]

Hi,

I posted a question earlier as to whether it was possible to have a 
module based web-app with each module having its own tiles defs 
configuration.  The tiles-documentation web app is a working example of 
this.  So that answers my first question.  On looking at the details of 
the webapp the tiles-defs are within each module configuration as follows:

struts-tutorial-config module
  <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
    <set-property property="definitions-config"
                         value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml,
                                /WEB-INF/tiles-tutorial-defs.xml" />
    <set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
  </plug-in>
struts-doc-config module
  <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
    <set-property property="definitions-config"
                        value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml, 
/WEB-INF/tiles-doc-defs.xml" />
    <set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
  </plug-in>

struts-config module
  <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
    <set-property property="definitions-config"
                         value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml" />
    <set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
  </plug-in>
etc.....

can someone explain to me the significance of specifying the tiles-defs 
in this way?  is this to make paths defined in one tiles-defs file 
available to another module? Is there any other significance of having 
multiple tiles-defs declared within each module?

cheers
Nathan
