Serving up Tiles based on Role
I'd love to serve up a specific tile based on a role, but it doesn't
seem like it's currently possible in the Tiles Framework. Basically, I
want to do the following:
<!-- User Profile definition -->
<definition name=".userProfile" extends=".mainMenu">
<put name="title.key" value="userProfile.title"/>
<put name="heading.key" value="userProfile.heading"/>
<put name="content" value="/WEB-INF/pages/userProfile.jsp"
role="admin"/>
<put name="content" value="/WEB-INF/pages/userDetail.jsp"
role="tomcat"/>
</definition>
In this example, users with role "admin" get the userProfile.jsp, while
users with a "tomcat" role get the userDetail.jsp. Unfortunately,
"role" is not an allowed attribute on <put>.
It seems it's only possible to do this on a definition level - but then
they cannot be the same name, and it seems rather clunky. For the
definition stuff, it'd be nice to do:
<definition name=".userProfile" extends=".mainMenu">
<put name="title.key" value="userProfile.title"/>
<put name="heading.key" value="userProfile.heading"/>
<put name="content" value=".meatOfPage"/>
</definition>
<definition name=".meatOfPage" path="/WEB-INF/pages/userProfile.jsp"
role="admin"/>
<definition name=".meatOfPage" path="/WEB-INF/pages/userDetail.jsp"
role="tomcat"/>
Any tips are appreciated.
Matt

Re: Serving up Tiles based on Role
Posted by Tin Pham <tt...@learn.senecac.on.ca>.
Role based tiles is possible in the Tiles framework by putting your own
controller before the tile definition.
The pdf document,
http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/tilesAdvancedFeatures.pdf gives an
example of how to do this at Cedric Dumoulin's site,

Happy New Year,
