tiles1 - tiles2 migration: insert an action
In tiles1 I used to be able to do:
<tiles:insert page="/someaction.do">
</tiles:insert>
How, if at all, is this possible in in Tiles2, i.e. inserting the
result of an action as a tile?

Got it. Sorry for the confusion, just trying different things here.

Dok I am confused here: do you use Struts 1 or 2?
If it is another question, please create a new thread. And if it is a Struts
2/Tiles 2 plugin issue, please ask the Struts Users Mailing List:
http://struts.apache.org/mail.html

Re: tiles1 - tiles2 migration: insert an action
Posted by doktora v <do...@gmail.com>.
I have tried this now with struts2 and tiles2 and it doesn't seem to
work either.
See the attached war. Take a look at /s2t2/test.action
The success of test.action maps to tile test.layout:
<definition name="test.layout" template="/testlayout.jsp">
<put-attribute name="menuclass" value="leftmenu"/>
<put-attribute name="bottom" value="/bottom.jsp"/>
</definition>
Here is testlayout.jsp:
---------------------
<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>
<tiles:importAttribute name="menuclass"/>
<html>
<body>
test layout
<hr/>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="menuclass"/>
<hr/>
<tiles:insertTemplate template="/bottom.jsp">
<tiles:putAttribute name="menuclass" value="${menuclass}"/>
</tiles:insertTemplate>
</body>
</html>
An now here is what bottom.jsp does, inserting an action as a template:
-----------------
<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>
<tiles:importAttribute name="menuclass" ignore="true"/>
bottom jsp page
<br/>
menuclass: <tiles:insertAttribute name="menuclass"/>
<hr/>
<tiles:insertTemplate template="/test2.action">
</tiles:insertTemplate>
----------
test2.action works, /s2t2/test2.action produces the text "test2layout jsp page".
However, what bottom.jsp renders is
"The requested resource (/s2t2/test2.action) is not available"
in place of where the action's result should be inserted.
Any thoughts? (Sorry for the complicated jsp/tiles, I was testing out
a few other things as well.)

You can use it without a plugin:
1) by rendering using the Tiles container. See:
http://tiles.apache.org/tutorial/basic/pages.html
2) by using the Tiles dispatcher servlet. See:
http://tiles.apache.org/tutorial/advanced/utils.html
The drawback is that you cannot use a Tiles definition as a Struts forward.

Good point. Will try that.

You mean struts1 and tiles2 w/o plugin? How? If I specify the tiles
listener in web.xml and don't specify the plugin in struts-config.xml,
the tiles are not recognized (I get errors of the sort "path does not
begin with /").

I suppose that the struts-tiles2 plugin is not compatible with Struts 1.3.8.
Try to use a snapshot of Struts 1.4.0 (or build it yourself) and see
if it works.
Or, maybe, simple use Tiles 2 without a plugin.

Will post the code. I don't interact with the response writer/output
stream at all. Both actions simply return mapping.getInputForward()
and that's mapped to a tile for the calling action and a jsp for the
action being inserted.
I'm using Struts 1.3.8 with Tiles 2.0.5 and
struts-tiles2-1.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar plugin. Sorry for not mentioning this
before.

Now that is very strange :-O

Do you render the response with a forward? Or do you work directly on
the HTTP response?

How? Please post the code.

Please post the code of your calling action, the action that should
get inserted by Tiles, Tiles definitions.
One last question: what version of Struts do you use?
Ciao

Re: tiles1 - tiles2 migration: insert an action
Posted by doktora v <do...@gmail.com>.
I tried that, but get:
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet org.apache.jsp.testlayout_jsp
threw exception
java.io.IOException: Stream closed
at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspWriterImpl.ensureOpen(JspWriterImpl.java:203)
at org.apache.jasper.runtime.JspWriterImpl.clearBuffer(JspWriterImpl.java:159)
at org.apache.jsp.testlayout_jsp._jspService(testlayout_jsp.java:82)
....
and the tile is not inserted but rather the entire result of the
action is rendered in my browser. The action also uses tiles to
display its result.
Should I post my code/setup? It's fairly straightforward and if I call
the action directly it works fine.
