Warning |
---|
This plugin was dropped in Struts 2.5, instead please use Tiles Plugin which was extended and upgraded to Tiles 3. |
Info |
---|
Tiles is a templating framework designed to easily allow the creation of web application pages with a consistent look and feel. It can be used for both page decorating and componentization. This is the first release of the plugin! |
...
The following steps must be taken in order to enable Tiles 3 support within your Struts2 application:
Include the struts-tiles3-plugin as a dependency in your web application, do not include the old struts2-tiles-plugin! If you are using maven3, the dependency configuration will be similar to:
Code Block xml xml <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.struts</groupId> <artifactId>struts2-tiles3-plugin</artifactId> <version>${version.tiles}</version> <scope>compile</scope> </dependency>
Register the tiles listener.
Code Block xml xml <listener> <listener-class>org.apache.tiles.extras.complete.CompleteAutoloadTilesListener</listener-class> </listener>
All package definitions which require tiles support must either extend the tiles-default package or must register the Tiles 3 Result type definition.
Code Block xml xml <result-types> <result-type name="tiles" class="org.apache.struts2.views.tiles.TilesResult"/> </result-types>
Configure your actions to utilize a tiles definition:
Code Block xml xml <action name="sample" class="org.apache.struts2.tiles.example.SampleAction" > <result name="success" type="tiles">tilesWorks</result> </action>
