Description

When you nest tiles within tiles, it can become difficult to manage the
independent tile definitions. I do not find the inner tiles to be reusable like
the outer tiles, and would like to anonymously inline them instead.

AS IT IS WITH CURRENT TILES:

<definition name="tile.journals" extends="layout.master">
<put name="title" value="Resources"/>
<put name="body" value="tile.journals.body"/>
</definition>

<definition name="tile.journals.body" path="/WEB-INF/jsp/tier2.jsp">
<put name="banner" value="/images/feature.jpg"/>
<put name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/journals.jsp"/>
</definition>

PROPOSED:

<definition name="tile.journals" extends="layout.master">
<put name="title" value="Resources"/>
<put name="body">
<definition path="/WEB-INF/jsp/tier2.jsp">
<put name="banner" value="/images/feature.jpg"/>
<put name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/journals.jsp"/>
</definition>
</put>
</definition>
