loading tiles dynamically...

[maya <ma...@yahoo.com>]

hi,

how do you load tiles dynamically in response to user input..
I have classic setting of nav on the left and main content to the right 
of nav tile..  how do I load tiles dynamically in main-content tile in 
response to what link user clicks in left nav? (I mean same principle as 
when you load frames dynamically in a frameset..)

am using Struts 1.1..

thank you..

First of all Tiles are not frames! Look at the end of this page:
http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsDocTiles

Anyway it all depends on what you mean "dinamically".
If you have a single "main-content" for each link, then I suggest to 
create a Tiles definition for each link extended from the base one, then 
forward to the correct definition in each Struts action.
If you want "more dinamicity" :-) you can <put> in your definition an 
URL and not a simple JSP page. This URL (it can be also a Struts action) 
decides which will be the next JSP page depending on your criteria, and 
forward to it.
Notice anyway that the first option is the easiest.
