Hi Adam, first of all thanks for your reply. As you might have noticed I am not so familiar with tiles and struts as I 'd like to be. You should not be to much confused about the jsf extensions. I only use them to seperate "executable" pages from others, that are only included by other pages. Hence, the only executable file (or main page) is moduls.jsp. So far I haven't tried to use tiles-def.xml, but maybe I should switch to that. The use of the content-type is a mistake since I meant body-content which should refer to the attribute used in the mainLayout.jsf.
