Tiles and variable CSS files

I'm trying to drop my dependency on tables for layout and move to CSS. I have a struts project using modules and would like to tie a CSS file to each module. So, i have my tiles classicLayout.jsp template and tiles-def.xml definitions and have to use a different classicLayout(1-4) for every module because I can't figure out how to use one layout template and multiple definitions by passing in a CSS file name on an insert. The reason is because the file name has to be rewritten for url encoding:

I want to be able to add to my Layout page something like the following:

and be able to declare the "cssFile" by an insert tag.

Has anyone solved this problem before?

Not <insert>. I meant <put> tag.

yes, guess i solved it.. but took me some time... :-)

from tiles.def:

from the jsp:

from the jspf which renders the header:

that should solve your problem,

:-)

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with the @import label. I'm assuming j2se5, right? I'm not able to find documentation on it, mostly because google doesn't include the '@' in the search. How does the url rewrite occur? You are using a simple html <style> tag and there is no implicit struts based url rewriting going on.

wrong. no java 5, simple css import command for styles.

check here, or google on how to import external style files
http://www.topxml.com/css/css_rule_import.asp

i dont understand your concern about url-rewriting. we are just referencing a style file, and are using tiles to switch declarativly between differnt files. no need to worry about the session.

please feel free to post further questions,
