I have achived this by doing the following (I don't claim this is the best or correct way to do it, it's just worked for me). In my definitions file I have something like the following - <definition name=".default" path="/tiles/default.jsp" /> <definition name=".leftRightSplit" extends=".default"> <put name="body" value="/tiles/left-right-split.jsp" /> </definition> <definition name=".split40-60" extends=".leftRightSplit"> <put name="leftWidth" value="40%" /> <put name="rightWidth" value="60%" /> </definition> <definition name=".page" extends=".split40-60"> <put name="title" value="page.title" /> <put name="left" value="/private/page-left.jsp" /> </definition> <definition name=".pageResults" extends=".page"> <put name="right" value="/private/page-right.jsp" /> </definition> Then I have something like the following for teh two tiles JSP files: default.jsp ---------- <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean-el"; prefix="bean" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html-el"; prefix="html" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles-el"; prefix="tiles" %> <html:html xhtml="true" lang="true"> <head> <title> <tiles:useAttribute id="title" name="title" scope="page" /> <bean:message key="${pageScope.title}" /> </title> </head> <body> <tiles:insert attribute="body"> <tiles:useAttribute id="leftWidth" name="leftWidth" ignore="true" scope="page" /> <c:if test="${not empty pageScope.leftWidth}"> <tiles:put name="leftWidth" value="${pageScope.leftWidth}>" type="page" /> </c:if> <tiles:useAttribute id="left" name="left" ignore="true" scope="page" /> <c:if test="${not empty pageScope.left}"> <tiles:put name="left" value="${pageScope.left}" type="page" /> </c:if> <tiles:useAttribute id="rightWidth" name="rightWidth" ignore="true" scope="page" /> <c:if test="${not empty pageScope.rightWidth}"> <tiles:put name="rightWidth" value="${pageScope.rightWidth}" type="page" /> </c:if> <tiles:useAttribute id="right" name="right" ignore="true" scope="page" /> <c:if test="${not empty pageScope.right}"> <tiles:put name="right" value="${pageScope.right}" type="page" /> </c:if> </tiles:insert> </body> </html:html> left-right-split.jsp ---------- <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; prefix="c" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-html-el"; prefix="html" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles-el"; prefix="tiles" %> <html:xhtml /> <table class="leftRightSplit"> <colgroup> <tiles:importAttribute name="leftWidth" ignore="true" scope="page" /> <c:choose> <c:when test="${not empty pageScope.leftWidth}"> <col id="left" style="width: <tiles:getAsString name="leftWidth" />;" /> </c:when> <c:otherwise> <col id="left" /> </c:otherwise> </c:choose> <tiles:importAttribute name="rightWidth" ignore="true" scope="page" /> <c:choose> <c:when test="${not empty pageScope.rightWidth}"> <col id="right" style="width: <tiles:getAsString name="rightWidth" />;" /> </c:when> <c:otherwise> <col id="right" /> </c:otherwise> </c:choose> </colgroup> <tbody> <tr> <td class="leftColumn"> <%-- Left part goes here... --%> <tiles:insert attribute="left" /> </td> <td class="rightColumn"> <%-- Right part goes here... --%> <tiles:insert attribute="right" ignore="true" /> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> page-left.jsp and page-right.jsp are just the content of the page you want to display. I hope this helps.
