struts-menu + tiles 1.x + struts 1.x issue
Summary:
====Background:====
I have a web-app using Struts1.x + tiles 1.x.
I am using Struts-menu which is working fine individually (without tiles). I
need advice to insert this Struts-menu based page in my tiles definition.
( I have followed this thread
http://www.nabble.com/first-struts-menu-with-tiles-integration-t2105421.html
Struts+tiles integration thread which provides a starting point for
struts-menu + tiles integration.
==My requirement is:===
When I click on the any tab of the struts-menu, the corresponding tab's
contents (a tile definition from tiles-defs.xml) should show up below it
(along with rest of the layout of the site like header, footer, etc)
===My problem :===
But currently when I click on any struts-menu tab, it shows the content
below it, but moves out of the site 's remaining layout i.e header, footer,
sidebar etc. are missing. I know the reason is how I have defined my tiles
in tiles-defs.xml, but I need suggestion to re-arrange my tiles so that when
the tab is clicked the contents are shown below it , and the struts-menu
component as a whole stays in the remaining sitelayout (ie it shows header,
footer tiles surrounding it..)
My tiles layout (tiles-defs.xml) is as following:
http://rafb.net/p/VKExtH17.html
Basically i have header, footer, sidebar, navigation bar in my
"base.definition" which is defined
in siteLayout.jsp. Clicking on the appropriate links in the sidebar, I
forward to appropriate tiles-definitions (which point to jsp based forms in
the body section) like "page.welcome" points to index.jsp etc.
As I said above, my problem occurs when I click on any tab of the
struts-menu component.
My relevant struts-menu menu-config.xml contents are...
http://rafb.net/p/dxBVai74.html
When I click on first menu on my struts-menu it points to this definition in
my menu-config.xml file ----------------
<Menu name="ClinicalPresentationMenu" title="Clinical Presentation"
action="/clinicalPresentationMenu"/>,
----------------
which invokes the following action mapping is called from my
struts-config.xml file
----------------
<action
path="/clinicalPresentationMenu"
parameter="roster.ClinicalPresentation"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction">
</action>
----------------
which looks for my tile-def named "roster.ClinicalPresentation" in my
tiles-defs.xml
which has the following related definitions...
--------------------------
<definition name="page.patientRoster" extends="base.definition">
<put name="title" value="Patient Roster" />
<put name="body" value="patientRosterBody.definition" type="definition"/>
</definition>
<definition name="patientRosterBody.definition"
path="/jsp/PatientRoster_new_layout.jsp">
<put name="roster_header" value="/jsp/tabbedMenu.jsp" />
<put name="roster_body" value="/jsp/clinicalPresentation.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="roster.ClinicalPresentation"
extends="patientRosterBody.definition">
<put name="roster_body" value="/jsp/clinicalPresentation.jsp" />
</definition>
--------------------------
Since my tile-def named "roster.ClinicalPresentation" extends
"patientRosterBody.definition"
I just shows the contents of "patientRosterBody.definition" which is
"/jsp/PatientRoster_new_layout.jsp".
I need to somehow link my tab contents with a tile definition that extends
"base.definition" (which
includes header, footer, sidebar etc.) How can i do that ??
Any suggestions are most welcome,
======================================
(In case its helpful, there's some further explanation about the
tiles-defs.xml contents)
Basically my "page.patientRoster" extends my base.definition and puts
another definition
"patientRosterBody.definition" in the <body>. This
"patientRosterBody.definition" is defined
in PatientRoster_new_layout.jsp which is basically a table with two rows,
the top row has <tiles:insert attribute="roster_header"/>
and
bottom row has <tiles:insert attribute="roster_body"/>.
"roster_header" is my tabbedMenu.jsp (containing Struts-menu) and bottom row
containing
"roster_body" is supposed to show the jsp content, depending upon which tab
is clicked in the roster_header (i.e struts-menu) . I intend to have
tile-defs corresponding to all my struts-menu tabs
pointing the tab contents (different jsps).
In this case, I have "roster.ClinicalPresentation" which inserts
"jsp/clinicalPresentation.jsp" as "roster_body".
My "/jsp/tabbedMenu.jsp" content are here:
http://rafb.net/p/6aX5Ub29.html
My "/jsp/PatientRoster_new_layout.jsp" contents are here:
http://rafb.net/p/B7Ipil28.html
