I don't know it this is the case, but I think you missed the "tiles-defs.xml" file. I think the best place to start is Cedric Dumoulin's tutorial: http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/doc/tutorial.html And I think you should start directly from chapter 6.
> > 1) have a page with classic 4 tile layout (header, menu, body, footer) You can make a JSP page for the layout. For example, create a simple HTML table and put the tag (for example): <tiles:insert attribute="header" /> > 2) on selecting a menuitem, the body and menu tiles change. > In Tiles, page (and subpages) structures are called "definitions". If you want to change a piece of a page you have (usually) to: 1. prepare a base definition, without filling the "body" attribute; 2. prepare a set of extended definitions, where the "body" attribute changes. When your Action forward to its final page, you can forward to a Tiles definition, but remember to set correctly the controller in struts-config.xml: <controller processorClass="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor"/> > if i submit to a jsp page which inturn calls the actions (for menu, > body), i get a "response already commited" error somewhere in the middle. > > how do i get around it? You can't. Your action must forward to a complete page, i.e. to a JSP page or to a Tiles definition. You have to make a different definition for each page. Remember, Tiles are not frames! > should i use a single action that sets the properties of both menu and > body tiles? It depends. I usually avoid this approach as I prefer using tiles-defs.xml to set attributes.
