How to access current Tiles definition name?

Hi!

Is it possible to retrieve the tiles definition name within a JSP that 
is part of the currently processed definition?

Example:

<definition name="rootLayout" path="/layouts/rootLayout.jsp">
	<put name="menu"   	value="/tiles/menu.jsp" />
	<put name="content"	value="/tiles/content/empty.jsp" />
	<put name="rightBar"	value="/tiles/newsbar.jsp" />
</definition>

<definition name="site.page1" extends="rootLayout" >
	<put name="title"	value="blabla" />
	<put name="content"	value="/tiles/content/page1.jsp" />
</definition>

<definition name="site.page2" extends="rootLayout" >
	<put name="title"	value="blabla" />
	<put name="content"	value="/tiles/content/page2.jsp" />
</definition>

Now within "/tiles/menu.jsp" I want to find out which tiles definition 
is active. "site.page1" or "site.page2"

TIA,
	Christian

  Hi,

  There is no way to retrieve the current definition name.
  The actual solution is to add an attribute identifying the definition.

  Hope this help,

   Cedric
