Summary: ====Background:==== I have a web-app using Struts1.x + tiles 1.x.
I am using Struts-menu which is working fine individually (without tiles). I need advice to insert this Struts-menu based page in my tiles definition. ( I have followed this thread http://www.nabble.com/first-struts-menu-with-tiles-integration-t2105421.html Struts+tiles integration thread which provides a starting point for struts-menu + tiles integration. ==My requirement is:=== When I click on the any tab of the struts-menu, the corresponding tab's contents (a tile definition from tiles-defs.xml) should show up below it (along with rest of the layout of the site like header, footer, etc) ===My problem :=== But currently when I click on any struts-menu tab, it shows the content below it, but moves out of the site 's remaining layout i.e header, footer, sidebar etc. are missing. I know the reason is how I have defined my tiles in tiles-defs.xml, but I need suggestion to re-arrange my tiles so that when the tab is clicked the contents are shown below it , and the struts-menu component as a whole stays in the remaining sitelayout (ie it shows header, footer tiles surrounding it..) My tiles layout (tiles-defs.xml) is as following: http://rafb.net/p/VKExtH17.html Basically i have header, footer, sidebar, navigation bar in my "base.definition" which is defined in siteLayout.jsp. Clicking on the appropriate links in the sidebar, I forward to appropriate tiles-definitions (which point to jsp based forms in the body section) like "page.welcome" points to index.jsp etc. As I said above, my problem occurs when I click on any tab of the struts-menu component. My relevant struts-menu menu-config.xml contents are... http://rafb.net/p/dxBVai74.html When I click on first menu on my struts-menu it points to this definition in my menu-config.xml file ---------------- <Menu name="ClinicalPresentationMenu" title="Clinical Presentation" action="/clinicalPresentationMenu"/>, ---------------- which invokes the following action mapping is called from my struts-config.xml file ---------------- <action path="/clinicalPresentationMenu" parameter="roster.ClinicalPresentation" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"> </action> ---------------- which looks for my tile-def named "roster.ClinicalPresentation" in my tiles-defs.xml which has the following related definitions... -------------------------- <definition name="page.patientRoster" extends="base.definition"> <put name="title" value="Patient Roster" /> <put name="body" value="patientRosterBody.definition" type="definition"/> </definition> <definition name="patientRosterBody.definition" path="/jsp/PatientRoster_new_layout.jsp"> <put name="roster_header" value="/jsp/tabbedMenu.jsp" /> <put name="roster_body" value="/jsp/clinicalPresentation.jsp" /> </definition> <definition name="roster.ClinicalPresentation" extends="patientRosterBody.definition"> <put name="roster_body" value="/jsp/clinicalPresentation.jsp" /> </definition> -------------------------- Since my tile-def named "roster.ClinicalPresentation" extends "patientRosterBody.definition" I just shows the contents of "patientRosterBody.definition" which is "/jsp/PatientRoster_new_layout.jsp". I need to somehow link my tab contents with a tile definition that extends "base.definition" (which includes header, footer, sidebar etc.) How can i do that ?? Any suggestions are most welcome, ====================================== (In case its helpful, there's some further explanation about the tiles-defs.xml contents) Basically my "page.patientRoster" extends my base.definition and puts another definition "patientRosterBody.definition" in the <body>. This "patientRosterBody.definition" is defined in PatientRoster_new_layout.jsp which is basically a table with two rows, the top row has <tiles:insert attribute="roster_header"/> and bottom row has <tiles:insert attribute="roster_body"/>. "roster_header" is my tabbedMenu.jsp (containing Struts-menu) and bottom row containing "roster_body" is supposed to show the jsp content, depending upon which tab is clicked in the roster_header (i.e struts-menu) . I intend to have tile-defs corresponding to all my struts-menu tabs pointing the tab contents (different jsps). In this case, I have "roster.ClinicalPresentation" which inserts "jsp/clinicalPresentation.jsp" as "roster_body". My "/jsp/tabbedMenu.jsp" content are here: http://rafb.net/p/6aX5Ub29.html My "/jsp/PatientRoster_new_layout.jsp" contents are here: http://rafb.net/p/B7Ipil28.html ====================================== -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/struts-menu-%2B-tiles-1.x-%2B-struts-1.x-issue-tf4330085.html#a12332219 Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
