struts 1.3.5 tiles question
I have been unable to get Tiles to work under Struts 1.3.5. I also
noticed that none of the Struts 1.3.5 examples use Tiles. Below is a
summary of the problem. The only place where my implementation deviates
from the documentation is in the tiles-defs.xml file. If anyone know
what I need to do to get it to work, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
==========
I installed Tomcat 5.5.20 onto a Red Hat Linux 4.0 box. I opened up
the "blank.war" app that comes with Struts 1.3.5. I modified web.xml
and struts-config.xml as specified in the Struts 1.3.5 Tiles
documentation.
Here's my test JSP:
<%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>FooBar</title>
</head>
<body>
<tiles:insert attribute="foo"/>
</body>
</html>
Here's my tiles-defs.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 1.3//EN"
"http://struts.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_1_3.dtd">
<tiles-definitions>
<definition name="foo" path="/bar.jsp" >
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
I get this error:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Exception in JSP: /parent.jsp:8
5: <title>FooBar</title>
6: </head>
7: <body>
8: <tiles:insert attribute="foo"/>
9: </body>
10: </html>

You are confusing <tiles:insert definition="xxx"/> with
<tiles:definition name="xxx" />. The first insert a configured
definition (or a definition defined with <tiles:definition>) in the
page, the second defines the definition itself. It's the latter that the
page you mentioned refers to.
If you define a definition inside tiles-defs.xml, you HAVE TO insert it
with <tiles:insert name="xxx" />, or forward to the definition itself.

"parent.jsp" is a test page where I want to import the content of
"bar.jsp".
"bar.jsp" contains only the string "testing" - no XML, JSP, HTML.
The reason I did not put <tiles:insert definition="foo"> in the JSP is
because on this page:
http://struts.apache.org/1.3.5/struts-tiles/examples.html
it recommends that the definitions be put in tiles-defs.xml, not in
the JSP, which is what I did in Struts 1.2.9

There are some missing details. But here I am supposing that "bar.jsp"
is your test JSP page and "parent.jsp" is the page where you put
<tiles:insert definition="foo" />. If this is not the case please let me
know.
Well, in this case, you forgot to fillup the "foo" attribute in
"bar.jsp"
