tiles question
hi,
I tiles you have to maintain two pages. One that includes all the sections
like header, footer, variable content jsp, etc. and one jsp which contains
your code(varible part).
This doubles up the no of jsps ? Is it ok. any work around ?
TIA

The saving in the number of pages comes when you have many pages. Take
as an example a page with 3 parts. That means for your first page, you
have to create 5 files:
tiles-def.xml (config)
layout.jsp (skeleton)
header.jsp
content.jsp
footer.jsp
Now you want another page. Assuming that your header and footer require
only changes that you can take care of in the xml, then you only require
one more file - the content.jsp for the new page. So for a 10 page
website, you only need 10 content pages, plus 4 (xml, layout, header &
footer).
I don't think I could live without it now.

Hi
well this is ok
tiles is used to manage many jsp sides with all nearly the same layouts over
one configuration file
this means you have to maintain (if you use full tiles power) minimum 3
files:
the layout jsp (setting positions of header, body, footer, and so on)
the content files (foreach (header,body,footer,and so on){ you have to make
jsp sides;})
the configuration xml file ( setting which content file should be used at
which position in layout file)
the advantage is that if all websites have the same header and footer you
only have to create the footer and header jsp once

There's a method of reducing this duplication in Ted Husted's "Struts in
Action" book - the method, I believe, is called the "body wrap" method
and it addresses a particular situation that is common, that allows you
to eliminate this duplication. Also, you can define and extend tile
definitions in XML, that also help mitigate and leverage the
scaleability of Tiles.
I recommend you check out Ted's book or other Struts books that also
address Tiles.
