Have you seen http://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/tiles-plugin.html ?
Struts 2 is intentionally mostly ignorant of Tiles, except for the plugin,
so something like per-package tiles defs would involve writing your own
code, perhaps a custom subclass of the TilesResult. However, if you just
want to spread out your config among multiple files (which I like to do),
you just need to specify a context parameter like this:
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.tiles.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG</param-name>
<param-value>
/config/tiles/common.xml,
/config/tiles/create.xml,
/config/tiles/library.xml,
/config/tiles/profile.xml,
/config/tiles/login.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
While I think Tiles 2 is probably reasonably close to a release, it is still
under development, and documentation is one thing that is needed.
(Contributions are always welcome...)
It doesn't have much traffic yet, but there is now a tiles user mailing list
-- see http://tiles.apache.org/mail-lists.html
In the mean time, remember that it hasn't been released, so if you plan to
use it, you should probably subscribe to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list to
keep
up with status and changes.

Hello,
I'm developing a web application using struts2. I'm a struts1
developer and now I'm migrating myself (not a specific app) to
struts2.
The documentation is very good so I managed to setup struts and run a
few actions. The problem I found was in what it regards to Tiles.
Despite the documentation refers the web.xml (the interceptor and
configuration file) and struts.xml (return types) it does not show a
tiles-configuration.xml example.
I was used to have a tiles-configuration.xml for each subapplication
(STRUTS2's namespace) and now it seems that there can be only one. I'm
good with that, but I'd like to know the tiles-configuration.xml
format.
So, what I'd like to know is:
1 - is there any way to specify multiple tiles-configuration.xml files?
2 - is there any way to associate a different tiles-configuration.xml
file to each package
3 - is there an example of a tiles-configuration.xml usage with struts2?
4 - is tiles1 or tiles2 which comes bundled with struts2? Where can I
find this info in documentation.
Oh, planetstruts.org is down for at least 3 days, where can I report this?
Best Regards,
