Hi Peter, David is right. You need frames if you want to reload just part of your page. And yes tiles framework assembles all components and returns the accumulated result. But you CAN write JSP, that changes just one tile component (for example body) of your page:
<%@ page language="Java" contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles"%> <tiles:insert definition="site.mainLayout" flush="true"> <tiles:put name="body" value="another.definition"/> </tiles:insert> In this JSP example you put another tile component described in tiles-defs.xml as another.definition in part of your previous body component /tiles/body.jsp. But remember, that will reload all the page not only the body part. Peace, Aidas David G.
