You should check out sitemesh. It uses page decoration (vs Tiles page
composition) and requires very little configuration and programming
overhead. It also is capable of decorating pages with elements from
other sites/applications.

Tiles is very powerful but I've found that 99% of the time I'm only using
it to wrap a page in a consistent layout/navigation. It seems like I'm
not getting enough value out of it to justify the additional layer of
indirection of having to touch tiles-defs.xml. I also would love to be
able to include header/footer pages from another webapp context.
What about plain-old jsp includes? Maybe they're "enough" for your needs.
I believe that if you are using JSP includes, the included file, "looses"
any objects that were put in using request.setAttribute(...) ? I have found
that using jsp:includes is typicaly good enough to include any group page
imports, definitions and maybe any JavaScript...
Maybe this example can help you decide, if <jsp:include> is sufficient
for you:
http://struts.sourceforge.net/strutsdialogs/dialogaction-logincontrolsample.html
It has link to this live demo (can be offline from time to time, since
this is a shared Tomcat):
http://www.superinterface.com/strutsdialog/embeddedmasterpage-tomcat.do
The "Sign In" box is an included Struts component. Notice, that it
knows nothing about master page, and master page knows nothing about
the component.
