in inserted pages

["Ralf E. Stranzenbach" <mo...@reswi.de>]

Hi,

i've build a small application using Tiles and Struts which worked very
well.

The setup of all pages is described using the tiles-defs.xml file. For all
those pages there is a single layout.jsp that contains the layout code and
inserts all other views of the application.

Last night i've extended the application and there was therequirement of a
"body" view that sometimes inserts another view on its own.

Therefore i expected to get the following situation

somePage -> maps to body->details.jsp, subview->moredetails.jsp and
layout.jsp
  -- layout.jsp -> <tile:insert attribute="body">
    -- body: details.jsp -> <tiles:insert attribute="subview">
      -- subview: moredetail.jsp

This is the behaviour i've expected an i want to have. But if i try to
<tiles:insert> in the details.jsp Tiles throws an "subview" attribute not
found exception.

Is it *NOT* allowed to nest Tiles in an application?

Sincerley,
	- Ralf

  Hi Ralf,

  It is allowed to nest tiles in an application. However, tiles 
attributes are only visible from the tiles, not from its sub-tiles or 
from its parent. This behavior is the same as a method call: parameters 
are only visible in the method, not in its called methods.
  To solve your problem, you need to pass tiles attributes explicitly, 
as you would do in a method call:
<tile:insert attribute="body">
  <tiles:put name="subview" beanName="subview" beanScope="tiles" />
<tile:insert/>

  Hope this help,
         Cedric
