Allen, You could make your action a Struts Tiles Action subclass and set a tile parameter's value manually based upon the id... For example, you could set the tile's "body" component to the value form.getBody() IF your page was submitted with "body=somepage.jsp" or something like that. If you do that, I would recommend you test that the file exists before setting the tile's "body" component. If you need concreted examples, check the archives under my name as I posted something like that in the last 90 days.

In this setup, the navigation.jsp is responsible for dynamically generating the left hand navigation from an XML configuration file. For each page request, this component needs to build the navigation appropriate for that page. The body.jsp contains a parameter needed by the navigation to determine the correct navigation. What are some approaches for passing values like this from the body.jsp to the navigation.jsp? The goal is to allow web programmers to add body.jsp (or new pages) to a web site by creating and adding the page only. The page would contain the body's HTML and this navigation parameter. Assuming the appropriate navigation is already defined in the configuration file, no other configuration would be needed to add a page (i.e. struts*.xml, tiles*.xml) Thanks Allen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
