The struts-tiles-plugin depends on the nightly snapshot of Tiles 2, which means that some things may get out of sync with the docs -- for instance, we've recently been working on clarifying the names of some of the JSP tags and I know for a fact some of the doc at tiles.apache.org is not in sync with the current snapshot.
The example I gave is for using the TilesListener (ServletContextListener) instead of the servlet, as in item (2) of the Confluence Wiki page ( http://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/tiles-plugin.html) In this case, the context-params are for the general Application Context and would probably go right above your <filter> element for the Struts 2 FilterDispatcher. I have only just recently reconnected with Tiles development, but I suspect that the TilesResult would work if you used the Servlet, but if you don't intend to allow direct links to tiles, then there's no reason to use the servlet; the Listener will take care of initializing the configurations, and that's all that the Struts2 Tiles Plugin needs. Note also that there are some differences in the DTD for Tiles2: more attempts to simplify and clarify compared to Tiles1. The new DTD is at http://struts.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_2_0.dtd (although I guess we may want to move it to tiles.apache.org before officially releasing Tiles 2.) The main difference I can think of offhand is the XML attribute "path" in the <definition> element in Tiles 1 becomes "template" in Tiles 2. That is <definition name="xyz" template="/xyz.jsp" /> Joe On 1/29/07, Gonçalo Luiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello Joe, thank you for your reply. In fact I had already saw http://cwiki.apache.org/S2PLUGINS/tiles-plugin.html, however I did not found any reference to an example of tiles-config.xml nor the version of the bundled Tiles (I assume from your answer that is tiles2). I'd still like to look into a tiles-config.xml example. Currently I'm using this configuration: <servlet> <servlet-name>tiles</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.tiles.servlets.TilesServlet </servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>definitions-config</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/tiles-config.xml </param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> Where are you suggesting to add the context-param? Should <param-name>definitions-config</param-name> be <param-name>org.apache.tiles.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG</param-name> instead? Thank you once again. Best Regards, Gonçalo Luiz.
