No reason why it shouldn't... it's an action class like any other with an extra parameter for the ComponentContext. I'm thinking that maybe you would want to look at your design. Mingling the view assembly with the action class may not be the most flexible. If you're just trying to figure out whether or not to include a tile in with the defition, then just the controller is good, with it using the action to setup the form. THat way everything stays seperate. If the form needs to be setup differently depending on some context (logicl context not struts or tiles necessarily), then either use parameters to do that, or one of the DispatchActions. > > --Erez > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Barrows [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, August 02, 2004 8:50 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: initialize a form in a tile > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Monday, August 02, 2004 11:20 AM > > To: Struts Users Mailing List > > Subject: Re: initialize a form in a tile > > > > > > From: "Jim Barrows" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > <put name="formBit" value="/setupForm.do"/> > > > > I have nothing with .do in my tiles-defs.xml file.
