What is the proper way to load a Tiles2 definitions file from a jar file or
another war file on the classpath? I would like to move a "common" set of
definitions that will be extended by all other web applications into a single
location rather than having each application have it's own copy of this
reusable file.
Using the following code which works...
<context-param>
<param-name>
org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/classes/config/tiles/tiles-ar-default.xml,
/WEB-INF/classes/config/tiles/tiles-ar-security.xml,
/WEB-INF/classes/config/tiles/tiles-ar-search.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
I'd like to do something like this...
<context-param>
<param-name>
org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG</param-name>
<param-value>
classpath:config/tiles/tiles-common-default.xml,
/WEB-INF/classes/config/tiles/tiles-ar-security.xml,
/WEB-INF/classes/config/tiles/tiles-ar-search.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
Where config/tiles/tiles-common-default.xml is just a renamed version of
tiles-ar-default.xml which is located directly on the root classpath of an
included jar or accessible war.
The definitions must be extendable across definition configuration files and
addressable via Struts2.
<action name="searchAR_*" method="{1}"
class="com.us.ar.action.arlist.FetchArAction">
<result type="tiles">layout.arList</result>
... currently works and I need it to continue to work.
I tried using the context param name:
org.apache.tiles.definition.DefinitionsFactory.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG but Struts2
couldn't find the definitions that it created (successfully).
