if you set up your web.xml correctly with the taglibs you can do the following to use tiles defintions.

<%@ taglib uri="taglibs/struts-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>
<tiles:insert definition="your.layout" >
<tiles:put name="content" value="foo.jsp"/>
</tiles:insert>

How to use definations without creating defination for every single content pages.

Posted by bay1234 on Thursday, 05.31.07 @ 18:32pm | #17865

Hi,
I would like to use tiles for dynamic action, it means that I have 2 tiles template, each of them will set different action name to the JSP.
for example:
For mobile product I set the action
<definition name="mobile" template="/search.jsp">
<put name="actionName" value="/mobileSearch.do"/>
</definition>
For land line:
<definition name="land" template="/search.jsp">
<put name="actionName" value="/landSearch.do"/>
</definition>

in the jsp I set the action name like that:
<html:form action="<tiles:getAsString name="actionName"/>">
.
.
</html:form>
I got an exception.
How can I do that using tiles?
Is it possible?
Thanks,
Jaron

Hey Monib,

Create the following chain-config.xml in your WEB-INF directory in addition to what Rajesh said:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

This file contains definitions of the standard Chain Of Responsibility

are defined in a catalog named "struts" so that the application can
use the default catalog for its own purposes, without any potential for

<!-- ========== Action Processing chain ======================== -->
<chain name="process-action">

<!--
This chain attempts to emulate (most of) the standard request
processing in the standard org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor
class, by performing the corresponding tasks in individual Commands
that are composable. The following list defines a cross reference
between the processXxx methods and the Commands that perform the
corresponding functionality:

processMultipart Integrated into servlet and legacy classes

processPath SelectAction (which also does processMapping)

processException ExceptionCatcher / ExceptionHandler

processLocale SelectLocale

processContent SetContentType

processNoCache RequestNoCache

processPreprocess LookupCommand with optional="true". Multiple
occurrences of this can easily be added, to
support additional processing hooks at any
point in the chain without modifying the
standard definition.

processCachedMessages RemoveCachedMessages

processMapping SelectAction (which also does processPath)

processRoles AuthorizeAction

processActionForm CreateActionForm

processPopulate PopulateActionForm

processValidate ValidateActionForm / SelectInput

processForward SelectForward

processInclude SelectInclude / PerformInclude

processActionCreate CreateAction

processActionPerform ExecuteAction

exception mapping of Struts 1.1, but can be replaced in order
to handle exceptions differently.
