msangel commented on TILES-564:
-------------------------------

no, not help

even while wildcards solve the problem, wildcard support himself require spring-core dependency, and this is not ok

> Hi! I've been searching over the web since few days and haven't managed to find any solution to the problem: how to access the name of the definition from inside a custom ViewPreparer? There are also unreplied questions on stackoverflow where people ask about the same (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15076272/apache-tiles-get-view-name-inside-viewpreparer, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10088148/can-i-access-the-apache-tiles-definition-name-inside-a-viewpreparer). The only workaround that I found is just to pass another attribute to the definition, so as it looks not too good:
> {code}
>     <definition name="t.song" extends="t.container">
>         <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/song.jsp"/>
>         <put-attribute name="title" expression="${song.title} - ${song.author} in ${jukebox.name}"/>
>         <put-attribute name="view" value="song"/>
>     </definition>
> {code}
> If this feature is already possible, please let us know. It'd be great if the docs could be improved in the appropriate chapter. Thank you in advance
