Using tiles, can I extend definitions which are defied in other tiles-defs.xml file?

[Hao Zhang]

In the default module, I defined this:

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
  <set-property property="definitions-config" value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml" />
</plug-in>

I have some sub-modules, such as sysuser module, in struts-config-user.xml, I wrote this:

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
 <set-property property="definitions-config" value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml,/WEB-INF/tiles-defs-user.xml" />
</plug-in>
  

in tiles-defs-user.xml, I want to define a definition "userLayout" extend the definition "classicLayout" which is defined in tiles-defs.xml, but It doesn't work when I tried to forward to "userLayout" in user module.

I want to do this because several members will work on this project, and the central tiles-defs.xml will cause a lot of merge.

thanks.
