I usually don't use the tiles taglib other than in my layout files... here is how I would accomplish the same thing you want to do..
1) Modify your layout.jsp <tiles:insert attribute="header"/> <tiles:insert attribute="menubar"/> <tiles:insert attribute="body"/> <tiles:insert attribute="footer"/> note body wasn't there before. 2) Modify the tiles-def.xml <tiles-definitions> <definition name="common.default" path="../layout/defaultLayout.jsp" > <put name="header" value="/common/Top.jsp"/> <put name="menubar" value="../common/Side.jsp"/> <put name="body" value="blank.jsp"/> <put name="footer" value="footer.jsp"/> </definition> <definition name="assessment.calc" extends="common.default"> <put name="body" value=" AssessmentCalc.jsp"/> </definition> </tiles-definitions> then just forward to assessment.calc in your actionForward. Here is a snip from the struts config for an example: <action path="/assessmentCalc" type="com.myactions.AssessmentCalcAction"> <forward name="success" path="assessment.calc" redirect="false"/> </action> HTH, Al --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
