If you are using the bean-el tag it should have worked.
Sorry, I am still learning struts and don't know what bean-el is. I am using struts 1.1, is bean-el in there someplace?
In any case this should work too :
<tiles:importAttribute /> <html:form method="post" action="<%=action%>">
Tried it and it failed. Did what you showed above and also what you specified in tiles-defs.xml. Here's a bit of the exception:

No, that doesn't work. I get an exception and look in the log and see:
2004-03-29 17:15:07 DEBUG InsertTag.java:945 - [ServletException in:/WEB-INF/tiles/layouts/FormLayout.jsp] Cannot retrieve mapping for action /<bean:write name="action"/>'
any other ideas?

Try this :

In your jsp --- <tiles:importAttribute /> <html:form method="post" action='<bean:write name="action"/>'>

I have a general form layout I am defining in tiles. But there is one thing I'm not sure how to do. The relevant part of the form layout looks like this:
<td valign="top"> <html:form method="post" action="xxx"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td><els:spacer width="150"/></td> <td><els:spacer width="250"/></td> </tr> <tiles:get name="subForm"/> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <tiles:get name="buttons"/> </td> </tr> </table> </html:form> </td>
I want to replace the xxx action with a string I define in tiles-defs.xml. Say I want to call the replacement string "url" and in one instance I want it to be "/Logon.do". What does the put look like in tiles-defs.xml and how can I modify the JSP snippet shown above to do the appropriate replacement (for action="xxx")?
Thanks. Dean Hoover
