  Tutorial: Using tiles-defs.xml in Tiles Application

In this lesson you will learn how to define and use the "plugin" definitation in tiles-defs.xml file.

Tutorial Details:

In the last section we studied how to forward the request (call) to a jsp page which specifies which tiles layout definition should be used to apply to the content. In this section I will show you how to use the a definition in the tiles-defs.xml for generating the content.

In Tiles we can define the definition in the tiles-defs.xml which specifies the different components to "plugin" to generate the output. This eliminates the need to define extra jsp file for each content file. For example in the last section we defined example.jsp to display the content of content.jsp file. In this section I will show you how to eliminate the need of extra jsp file using tiles-defs.xml file.

Steps to Use the tiles-defs.xml

Setup the Tiles plugin in struts-config.xml file.
Add the following code in the struts-config.xml (If not present). This enables the TilesPlugin to use the /WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml file.
