Description

Hi, guys,

I think that the following construction should be possible in tiles definition
file (note new type="action" - now only "page", "definition" and "string" are
possible):

<definition name="disclaimer.def" extends="rootLayout">
<put
name="header" value="header?contentPage=disclaimer" type="action"/>
<put
name="footer" value="footer?contentPage=disclaimer" type="action"/>
<put
name="content" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/disclaimer.jsp"
type="page"/>
</definition>

(kinda like we have "action" attribute in <html:link> tag,
which is expanded by that tag into fully qualified path to the action, including ".do" of whatever
specified in config file).

Now I have to do the following (note suffix ".do" in both header and
footer, also I need to specify context):

<definition name="disclaimer.def"
extends="rootLayout">
<put name="header" value="/header.do?contentPage=disclaimer"
type="page"/>
<put name="footer" value="/footer.do?contentPage=disclaimer"
type="page"/>
<put name="content" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/disclaimer.jsp"
type="page"/>
</definition>

I frequently need to "put" actions, not just jsp, think
others need too.
