Basic Templating Recommendations?
I've tried asking this a few times, but I think I haven't been clear.
I need a simple way to have requests converted into calls to Tiles
definitions.
So, requests like "/pages/pageone.thtml", would get turned into a call
to the tile "pageone". "/pages/main/pagetwo.thtml" => "main.pageone", etc.
I thought creating an Action that would figure out the defintion based
on the request URI, using the ideas in
"org.apache.struts.tiles.actions.DefinitionDispatcherAction".
However, I've just read that you can't have multiple servlet-mappings.
Also, I feel that my approach isn't great.
Please, I know people must be doing something for the many "generic"
html pages on their dynamic sites, ideas?
Thank you,
A.

Basically, I've got a bunch of pages in a site that are static. I need a
simple way to template them.
I would like to use Tiles, but I don't want to have links to
"tiles?def=main.index" and such. I want links to look like below.
So, I'm asking about recommendations to do simple templating of static
content, in conjunction with a dynamic site built using Struts. (So I
want to reuse the tiles.)
Thanks for your help,
A.

I don't understand what you are asking. With struts you can specify the
template you want to use by placing a tiles definition in the forward
mappings. It will map you request url to a definition. Just make sure that
everything is happening through struts controller and map you forward to
tiles definitions. Have you tried nesting definition in your tiles-def or
using the inheritance feature?
