RE: AW: Tiles newbie with questions/errors

Gene,

I'm still using the build system from 2.1-dev, so if you're on the new build system this probably won't help. But using the 2.1-dev system, I had to add a step to the keel_bundle_client:buildconfigstruts target in $KEEL_HOME/keel-build/import/keel-bundle-client.xml. I keep my tiles-defs.xml file in $KEEL_HOME/clnt-struts/conf/client/webapp and this is how I got it to deploy:

Find this target in keel-bundle-client.xml:

    <target name="keel_bundle_client:buildconfigstruts" if="use.struts">
        <echo message="Struts configuration: Preparing struts-config.xml  ..."/>

And add this at the end:

        <echo message="Struts configuration: Copying tiles definitions to webapp  ..."/>
        <copy todir="${keel.install.clientconf.dir}">
            <fileset dir="${keel.clientsupt.dir}/clnt-struts/webapp">
                <include name="tiles-defs.xml"/>
            </fileset>
        </copy>

If you want to keep your tiles def file elsewhere or if you want to make it so each app has its own and they are concatenated during assemble-deploy, you'll need to do it differently but this approach works for me.

Salut Gene,

Hmm, as I don't use keel's normal build system for my project (it's maven) I cannot answer this question... anyone else?!?

Hi Aleks, thanks for the reply.  I'm now having issues with my build not 
moving my definitions file, tiles-defs.xml into my build directory.  I 
currently have it in my conf/client folder for my project, which is 
apparently not the proper place.  Where should I place this file so that 
it gets built properly?

Thanks again,
gene

PS  Thanks for the email on viewing inputs, it was very helpful also
