Thanks very much! I'll need to spend a little time digesting this, but it certainly looks like what I want.
Thanks again. jim -----Original Message----- From: Pedro Salgado [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 4:04 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Dynamic Tiles? Here goes a response to your question... Pedro Salgado --------- PREVIOUS MESSAGE (on this mailing list) Hi Robert.. I guess you could achieve the same using the controllerClass attribute and building your class.. For instance, I have this definition in the tiles-defs.xml file: --- <definition name=".layout" path="/common/layout.jsp" controllerClass='com.dars.XTileAction'> <put name="title" value="Encabezado primario"/> <put name="leftside" value="/common/leftside.jsp"/> <put name="rightside" value="/common/rightside.jsp"/> <put name="header" value="/common/header.jsp"/> <put name="footer" value="/common/footer.jsp"/> <put name="body" value="/common/body.jsp"/> </definition> --- And I have this controllerClass --- package com.dars; import org.apache.struts.tiles.actions.TilesAction; import org.apache.struts.tiles.ComponentContext; import org.apache.struts.tiles.Controller; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; import javax.servlet.ServletContext; import javax.servlet.ServletException; import java.io.IOException; public class XTileAction extends TilesAction implements Controller{ public void perform(ComponentContext tilesctx, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, ServletContext servctx) throws ServletException, IOException{ /* GetAttributes */ String titulo= (String)tilesctx.getAttribute("title"); String derecha= (String)tilesctx.getAttribute("rightside"); /* GetAttributes */ System.out.println(" Titulo: "+titulo); System.out.println(" Derecha: "+derecha); /* SetAttributes */ tilesctx.putAttribute("title", "Titulo nuevo de esta vaina.."); tilesctx.putAttribute("rightside", "/common/footer.jsp"); /* SetAttributes */ } } --- You can change the values of those attributes at runtime. I prefer to do it using this method. Atte. Domingo A.
