Using tiles-defs.xml in Tiles Application

Previoushome Next




  • T o generate the output in Tiles we can define the definition in tiles-defs.xml which specifies the different components to "plugin" .


  • A D V E R T I S E M E N T

  • We can eliminates the need to define extra jsp file for the each content file by using tiles-defs.xml.


  • For example,we have defined example.jsp to display the content of the content.jsp file in the last section.


  • In this section I will show you using the tiles-defs.xml file how to eliminate the need of extra jsp file.



Steps to Use the tiles-defs.xml

Setup the Tiles plugin in the struts-config.xml file.

In struts-config.xml,add the following code. We use the /WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml file to enable TilesPlugin

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
<!-- Path to XML definition file -->
<set-property property="definitions-config" value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml" />
<!-- Set Module-awareness to true -->
<set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
</plug-in>



Defining the tiles-defs.xml

In this file we are defining different components to the "plugin" tag. The following is th code for the same:

<definition name="Tiles.Example" page="/tiles/template.jsp">
<put name="title" type="string" value="Welcome" />
<put name="header" value="/tiles/top.jsp" />
<put name="menu" value="/tiles/left.jsp" />
<put name="body" value="/tiles/content.jsp" />
<put name="bottom" value="/tiles/bottom.jsp" /> 
</definition>

The page attribute define the template file to be used and the put tag specifies the different components to "plugin".The name of the definition is Tiles.Example,we will use this in the struts-config.xml (While creating forwards in struts-config.xml file) file Your tiles-defs.xml should looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 1.1//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd">

<tiles-definitions>


<definition name="Tiles.Example" page="/tiles/template.jsp">
<put name="title" type="string" value="Welcome" />
<put name="header" value="/tiles/top.jsp" />
<put name="menu" value="/tiles/left.jsp" />
<put name="body" value="/tiles/content.jsp" />
<put name="bottom" value="/tiles/bottom.jsp" /> 
</definition>

<definition name="${YOUR_DEFINITION_HERE}">
</definition>

</tiles-definitions>



Configure the Struts Action to use Tiles Definition

Add following code in the struts-config.xml :

<action path="/Tiles/Example"
forward="Tiles.Example"/>

In the above code,with Tiles,the action points to Tiles definition.we are using Tiles.Example in this code definition which we have defined in the tiles-defs.xml file. Without Tiles,forward and action definitions point directly to the JSPs. With Tiles,they point to the page's definition in Tiles configuration file.

Testing the Application
To call the Example,Create a link in the index.jsp.Code added are as follows: 

<li>
<html:link page="/Tiles/Example.do">Using tiles-defs.xml</html:link>
<br>
Example shows you how to use tiles-defs.xml file.
</li>
