Im using Struts 1 without tiles. I took a look at all the options and finally
created a JSP2 tag file - this approach is great because you don't need to
recompile code in case of changes and the designer can change the layout by
only modifying the tag file (basically a JSP fragment), without having to
modify code.

Thanks for your help,

Thorsten
