can use tiles?

Can beehive use struts tiles?

Is there an example on this?

I've tried using 'template' but I keep stuffing things up because
template executes from the directory of the flow, so all the action
links keep erroring out.  For example, my header has a logout
action...which is in the main Controller.java.  But when I go to a
controller in a different directory which uses the same template I get
"Action 'logout' is not a valid action.".

Anyone can help out with this?

Cheers
Adam

Thanks Rich,

Found the tiles example about 20 minutes ago, am trying out now (huge
learning curve, but beehive is rad).

I'll check out (2).  I'm not yet confident with shared flows...but their
next on my todo list :)

Cheers
Adam

Yes!  I actually have two answers for this:

    1) Page Flow supports Tiles directly.  There's a sample of this in 
the distribution at samples/netui-samples/tiles.

    2) I use "shared flows" to provide actions that go along with UI in 
page templates.  There's a sample of this in the dist at 
samples/netui-samples/templateactions.  Note that this is basically the 
*exact* same sample as the Tiles example, using templates instead.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.
