Using a Tile Definition from within a Servlet ?

[Trevor Nightingale <Tr...@sas.com>]

Is it possible to "forward" to a tiles definition with a servlet ?

Something like

	RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("tile.def.goes.here");
      dispatcher.forward(request,response);


Thank you in advance,
Trevor

  Yes, it is possible. There is no simple API to do that, but take a 
look at the TilesRequestProcessor.processTilesDefinition(...) method to 
know how it is done by the struts servlet.
  What you should do is:

    * retrieve the definition from the factory
    * create the new tile context from thedefinition
    * save the current tile context
    * store the new tile context in the jsp context
    * include the new tile
    * restore the current context


   Hope this help,

      Cedric
