Tiles showing directory listing inside WEB-INF
Hi all!
I got confused when I experimented with tiles to learn how it works. Here is
what I have done.
I have created a DeafultLayout.jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<html:html>
<head>
<title>TilesTest</title>
<html:base/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="/TilesTest/stylesheets/TT-styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<tiles:insert attribute="header" flush="true" ignore="true" />
<tiles:insert attribute="navigation" flush="true" ignore="true" />
<tiles:insert attribute="footer" flush="true" ignore="true" />
</body>
</html:html>
So there are three regions, which I populate in a tiles definition
like this:
<definition name="tiledef.default"
path="/WEB-INF/jsp/layouts/DefaultLayout.jsp">
<put name="header" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/common/header.jsp" />
<put name="navigation" value="" />
<put name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/common/footer.jsp" />
</definition>
When I use this definition in an jsp like this:
<tiles:insert definition="tiledef.deafult" />
my web-app shows the directory listing of WEB-INF/jsp/layout (besides
the header and footer). So the line
<put name="navigation" value="" />
seems to be the problem. Is it ok for my web-app to show directory listings
inside my WEB-INF folder? How can I prevent Tomcat to do so, if i forget to
put a tile into my layout? More basically: Why does Tomcat list my directory
when a tile is put with value=""? Or is it a problem of tiles? There is
another
problem, too. My stylesheets are ignored. If I use navigation.jsp for the
navigation tile, everything is fine. Why aren't the stylesheets used in case
of value=""? You see, I only scratch the surface of tiles and need some more
in-depth covering of it.

Peter,
You wrote your tiles:insert tag with 'ignore="true" so
just put a dummy value in for your tiles:insert tag
and if a file by that name doesn't exist, it won't show
anything.
Regarding your directory listing, I've never seen that
but I've also never tried putting a blank entry ("") as
a value. You might try updating your tiles:put from your
definition to have 'type="String"' to try to force it to
put the value in as a String, which should result in an empty
string (from what you have listed. (shrug - just a theory)
Regards,
David
