The usage of the Tiles Controller Actions are essentially to perform logic on a per tile basis.. so yes you could have a TilesAction for each of your tiles and inside each it could query the database, get the required information and push it into the tiles context, from which your jsp could get that data and display it. -David

The displayed links will be dynamic based on the current state of the database. I have read what may be a possible solution: "Tiles Controller feature" here is an article: http://www.theserverside.com/resources/article.jsp?l=Tiles101 If I am understanding correctly it would not be good practice to query the database (Mysql by the way) directly from my JSP. (Not sure how to do this anyway - tags etc). Could I use multiple forms (with an action for each) on one JSP? What is the common solution? Having a page which may for example have several form controls and links that require querying the database and would be dynamic? Several queries will be required to be performed at the same time for one jsp view.
