Hi,

How are you doing?

I would try something like this:

Let's say we have screens like searchCustomer.do, submitCustomer.do, etc.,
that are without decoration.

Using Tiles, let's define a defintion like:
	<defintion name="baseDef" path="/layout/baseLayout.jsp">
		<put name="header" value="/header.jsp"/>
		<put name="body" value=""/>
		<put name="footer" value="/footer.jsp"/>
	</defintion>

Now, for each screen extend the above defintion
	<defintion name="searchCustomerDef" extends="baseDef">
		<put name="body" value="/searchCustomer.do">
	</defintion>

Now, map searchCustomerDef as forward of searchCustomerComplete.do in
struts-config.xml

Repeat the above process for submitCustomer.do

Test /searchCustomerComplete.do in the browser.

That should do it...

Best regards,
-Prakash
