Struts2 tiles

Hi I have 2 questions I tried to find solution for two things on the 
edge of Struts2/Tiles

1) I have one main layout template for many situations. There is a place 
where I want to put or not to put one special component..

example:

    <definition name="index.default" extends="default">
        <put-attribute name="body" 
value="/templates/tiles/index/default.jsp"/>
        *<put-attribute name="foot" value="modul/news.jsp"/>*
    </definition>

    <definition name="index.logged" extends="default">
        <put-attribute name="body" 
value="/templates/tiles/index/default.jsp"/>
        *<put-attribute name="foot" value="empty.jsp"/>*
    </definition>

  in one definition I need to show somethink in "foot" section
  in most situation nothing.. but do not like to use empty.jsp for 
this.. I am sure I misser right solution....


2) how to include instead of value="modul/news.jsp" rather struts action 
tag..
not to have modul/news.jsp containing:
<s:action name="modul/news" executeResult="true"/>

but i can understand you may consider too tight coupling with Struts2

Thanks
Ivan

Hi  Antonio,
OK, I just may recommend that being able to include none template on 
specific position would add some more comfort to Tiles.. since I like to 
use tiles.xml for exactly this purpose - to decide where to show or not 
show some element.. on certain position..

But thanks anyway..
Ivan

I think your solution is right, except in the case you have a
"strange" result as an HTML document, such as an empty <div>. In this
case I suggest to change the template that you use.

A template and an attribute value work mostly the same way.
