I think the tiles definition attributes should be exposed through the
tiles-plugin XML file. My Wizard action is setting the nextPage so this
would eliminate the need to write a ViewPreparer to set the jsp in the tiles
definition. I am now meddling around in the Preparer trying to construct
the URL that contains the page. For this Preparer to be flexible, I really
don't want to presuppose anything.
ValueStack stack = (ValueStack) tilesContext.getRequestScope().get(
ServletActionContext.STRUTS_VALUESTACK_KEY);
String nextPage = stack.findString("nextPage");
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)
tilesContext.getRequest();
String fullUrl = request.getRequestURL().toString();
// find last slash and strip everything following
// int index = fullUrl.lastIndexOf("/");
// fullUrl = fullUrl.substring(0, index);
// MORE MESSY CODE HERE <-----------
// GROSS!!!
nextPage = "/tiles/wizard/"+nextPage+".jsp";
attributeContext.putAttribute(
"body",
new Attribute(nextPage));
