How to reference pages external to a webapp using Tiles

[Ekberg Mats KONSULT <KO...@tullverket.se>]

I am working on an export coltrol system for the swedish customs.
We are using struts and the tiles framework.
We would like to have a separate webapp (or even a plain html site) with
some standard templates for mainly menus. I have placed some images and
standardized jsp-files there, these files should be used for all webapps
developed.

The problem is when I try to reference those jsp-pages in my tiles
definitions file as absolute urls, "Cannot get request dispatcher for path
http://localhost:7001/std/tiles/common/layout.jsp.
The referencing webapp is at http://localhost:7001/ex/do/...
And the def looks like: 

<definition name=".layout.ecs"
path="http://localhost:7001/std/tiles/common/layout.jsp">

Is there a solution to this or must the standardized pages included in each
webapp?

If you're using Tomcat, you *might* be able to get this to work by 
setting crossContext to true in the Context configuration [1]. I'm not 
sure how 'supported' this usage would be though, and I have no idea how 
you would do the same thing for any other servlet container.
