[tiles]

["Garner, Shawn" <sh...@pearson.com>]

There are ways to put content into a tile but there isn't a way to remove a
tile.

Say we have a layout that has a menu by default then you extend that layout
and you don't want a menu.

I know struts-templates didn't work if you did a put on a blank value.

Does this work with tiles?  Why isn't there a remove or delete tag?

Hmm, I don't know.  Try it and see what happens.  I suspect it won't  
work.  The  only thing I can think of right now is to include a blank  
JSP but that's a terrible way to have to do it.

I've personally never thought of that.  I'd be in favor of making an  
attribute optional, so that you can specify that it won't be  
displayed.  We could accomplish it through the XML defs or through a  
JSP tag.

Instead of thinking about removing tiles from a layout, I would suggest
thinking about your hierarchy the other way around. Build a layout that does
not have the menu, and another layout (extending the previous one) that does
have a menu. Now, for any particular tile, choose the correct layout to
extend based on whether you want the menu or not.

I had to go look.  Yes:  <tiles:insert attribute="menubar"/>

Don't take it as a recommendation-- all I'm going to say is "it
works".  This is out of my very first Struts app which launched days
after Struts 1.1 went final... no doubt I'd do things a little
differently now. :)

So it does work.  How do you use the menubar definition in the JSP  
page?  Are you using the "insert" tag?

I have that exact situation where I don't want the menu showing up on
a resolution screen.  I'm doing it in tiles-defs.xml,  so this may not
apply, but it works:

<tiles-definitions>
  <definition name="masterPage" path="/WEB-INF/jsp/layout/basicLayout.jsp">
     <put name="title"       value="IRM Web" />
     <put name="menubar"     value="/WEB-INF/jsp/menubar.jsp" />
     <put name="footer"      value="/WEB-INF/jsp/footer.jsp" />
     ...
  </definition>

  <definition name="resolution.page" extends="masterPage">
    <put name="heading"     value="Resolution" />
    <put name="menubar"     value="" />
    <put name="body"        value="/WEB-INF/jsp/resolutionBody.jsp" />
  </definition>
...
