You would need to intervene in this sophisticated and low-level process in order to store JSP code in a database and still have it work. It's probably possible in theory, but likely far, far from practical.
Velocity is probably better suited to your use case; it can do all of the basic things that JSP can do, and it is possible to use a variety of "resource loaders" to get templates and template fragments; it comes with loaders which read from the file system and from the classpath; there may already even be one which gets templates from a database.

Hi All,
I am just coming up to speed on tiles and I have searched the archive and not found the answer to this one.
I want to import JSP "files" into my layout which are stored in a database. The key issue is that there are JSP tags in the "file" stored in the database that need to be evaluated as part of the page.
I think a controller won't work because it returns information after the JSP has been evaluated and the string in the database will contain struts and JSTL tags which will get skipped.
I think it is possible to get this effect from by extending the DefinitionFactory class, but I am not sure.
The other thought that I had was to get the source and extend the <tiles:insert> tag so that instead of reading from a file, it reads from the database. But that seems like overkill.
Tiles looks great, and I think it can do 100% of what I need, but right now I am missing the last 5% with this issue.
Any thoughts or help is very much appreciated.
