Passing value to "subpage"

["De Bakker, Bjorn" <Bj...@ordina.be>]

Hi guys

I want to do something in my application, but I don't know whether it's possible or not.  We have a template definition and a page definition which extends the template definition.

In that template definition, there's a list of pages which are added by the put-list-attribute.  Is it possible to pass a value to a page in that list?

For instance:

<add-attribute value="/.../test.jsp">
    <put-attribute name="attribute" value="Testing" />
</add-attribute>

Is it possible to do something like this, or a workaround?

Thanks

Yes but a slightly different syntax, you can use a nested anonymous
definition (Tiles 2.1.x only):
http://tiles.apache.org/framework/tutorial/advanced/nesting-extending.html#Anonymous_nested_definitions
In other words:

<add-attribute>
  <definition template="/.../test.jsp">
   <put-attribute name="attribute" value="Testing" />
  </definition>
</add-attribute>
