A JSP can use the tiles taglib and pick a tiles definition to "show".  This
is how I setup my webapps' index.jsp page.  Tiles allows for two ways...

The first I use in my index page so my initial action does not have to be a
struts Action, just the plain old /index.jsp page:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<tiles:insert template=".some.tiles.definition.name" />

The other includes a page and sets parameters of your choice (again, from
the tiles-defs.xml file or anything else your plugIn knows about) for you:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tlds/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<tiles:insert page="/main.jsp" flush="true">
  <tiles:put name="title"  value="Page Title" />
  <tiles:put name="header" value="/header.jsp" />
  etc.....
</tiles:insert>

Regards,
David

Neil,

Unfortunately I know of no "better" way of accomplishing this. Redirects are
for the benefit of the user anyway -- they get a new address bar location --
and so this really shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks,
Paul

Paul:

I see.

I did this which worked:

    <action path="/registerForm"
            type="register.RegisterAction"
            name="registerForm"
            scope="request"
            input="register.index"
            validate="true">
      <forward name="success" path="/registerSuccess.do" redirect="true"/>
    </action>
    <action path="/registerSuccess" forward="register.success" />

Is there a better approach to doing this?

Thanks,
	Neil
