Struts-Tiles problem

[Grishma Dube]

Hi All,

I am trying to use Tiles with Struts. Though my sample application is working fine, I am not able to understand the flow.

Can anyone help me in understanding that?

I've index.jsp, where I'm inserting a tiles definition 'site.classicLayout'.

 
<%@ page language="java" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<tiles:insert definition="site.classicLayout" flush="true" /> 

Depending on the configuration done in tiles-def.xml, it is calling the LandingLayout.jsp. The lines written in tiles-def.xml are

  <!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
       "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration//EN"
       "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/tiles-config.dtd">
 
<tiles-definitions>
 
  <definition name="site.LandingLayout" path="/layouts/LandingLayout.jsp">
  <put name="title"  value="REPS" />
  <put name="header" value="/tiles/common/header.jsp" />
  <put name="menu"   value="/tiles/Left_Nav.jsp" />
  <put name="body" value="/tiles/body.jsp" />
  </definition>
 
</tiles-definitions>

Can anyone tell me, how the index.jsp are getting the definition parameters from tiles-def.xml???

Well, what is the definition for site.classicLayout in your tiles-def?
