In case this helps some people, yesterday I stumbled on a missing bit of necessary information in the otherwise very good book, "Programming with Jakarta Struts," by Chuck Cavaness (Nov 2002 printing): Chapter 14, 'Using Tiles', fails to explain the TilesRequestProcessor. I can find no mention of this class in the book whatsoever. Thus the book fails to explain the need for the developer to extend this class (vs. extending the RequestProcessor class) when using a custom request processor and Tiles. When I encountered this, the error seen in the browser didn't give me a clue as to the problem. Only reading Tomcat's catalina.out file did I find one line saying to the effect that the given request processor was not a TilesRequestProcessor. I confirmed this reading section 2.1.2, 'Enabling Definitions', in "Tiles Advanced Features" (http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/ tilesAdvancedFeatures.pdf) by Cedric Dumoulin.
Also, the tiles chapter would benefit from an example of using a tile definition from XML, similar to how he uses a tile definition from a JSP in Example 14-7. I've passed these comments to O'Reilly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
