Nested layouts (Panels inside Tabs)
I have a Tabs Layout setup and inside a tab I have another layout with two
panels(menu and content). This is my definition:
<definition name="index.page" path="/webpages/layouts/tabsLayout.jsp" >
<put name="header" value="/webpages/header.jsp"/>
<put name="footer" value="/webpages/footer.jsp" />dfs
<put name="selectedIndex" value="0" />s
<put name="parameterName" value="selected" />
<putList name="tabList" >
<item value="Home" link="/webpages/home.jsp"
classtype="org.apache.struts.tiles.beans.SimpleMenuItem" />
<item value="Template" link="/webpages/template.jsp"
classtype="org.apache.struts.tiles.beans.SimpleMenuItem" />
<item value="Search" link="/webpages/search.jsp"
classtype="org.apache.struts.tiles.beans.SimpleMenuItem" />
</putList>
</definition>
The link to "Template" i.e the template.jsp file follows a simple layout:
<definition name="templateview.default" path="/webpages/layout.jsp">
<put name="menu" value="/webpages/tiles/categoryTile.jsp"/>
<put name="body" value="/webpages/tiles/templateTile.jsp"/>
</definition>
The problem is that when I click on any link inside one of the panels in
templateTile.jsp or any other file, it breaks out of the Tabular layout and
displays it as just two panels. This problem can be reproduced if you run
the tiles-documentation example and go to
http://localhost:8080/tiles-documentation/examples/tabs.jsp. Now here if you
click on any link in the menu the page will open outside the tab layout.
The hyperlinks in my "Menu" panel point to Action classes. I am forwarding
requests from the Action classes to Tiles Definitions.
What should I do to tackle this problem?
Also can anyone guide me to a resource for Nested Tabs?
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Your links inside the tabs should link to an URL which rebuild the
page with the tabs. This is not automatic (for now) !

Definitions declared in the configuration file belong to the
definition factory which is in the application scope. You can create
yourself and store definitions in any jsp scope like a regular java
bean. You insert it with <tiles:insert name="defName"
scope="page|request|session|application" />.
In the case of nested tiles, there is one different context for each
nested tiles.

Re: [TILES] Dynamically overriding Tiles Definitions
Posted by Affan Qureshi <qu...@etilize.com>.
Thanks. I got the attributes form the Tiles Context but only on the JSP that
had a <tiles:insert>. Can I somehow make the Tiles Definition session
scoped? Also in case of nested Tiles, will there be multiple Tile Contexts?

Re: [TILES] Dynamically overriding Tiles Definitions

Hi,
Where is declared your action ? To be able to retrieve the tiles
context, there should be a tiles context. There is a tiles context only
if you insert an Tiles, or do a forward from an action to a definition.
In this later case, the context is created after the action.

Re: [TILES] Dynamically overriding Tiles Definitions
Posted by Affan Qureshi <qu...@etilize.com>.
I want to modify the Attributes in a tiles Definition from my Action
classes. Is this possible? I have tried the following code inside the Action
class but do not get an Attribute against the name, instead I get a null.
ComponentContext context = ComponentContext.getContext(request);
java.util.List list = (java.util.List)context.getAttribute("tabList");
Is it because it is request scoped? Can i make it session-scoped? Also I get
an empty iterator when I try to traverse the list of attributes in the Tiles
Context.
Iterator iter = context.getAttributeNames();
System.out.println(iter.next())
System.out.print("Printing Attrbutes:");
while(iter.hasNext())
{
System.out.println("Attribute"+ ((String)iter.next()));
}
My tiles definition is given below. Thanks a lot.
