Re: Tile and parameters use...
Cedric and/or any Tiles Users,
I've looked through the documentation and have an idea of how to do what I want, but I'm not quite there yet... can you advise?
I have a main document definition:
<definition name="main" path="/layout/main.jsp">
<put name="header" value="/layout/header.jsp"/>
<put name="menu" value="main.menu"/>
<put name="body" value="/layout/body.jsp"/>
</definition>
I want to pass parameters to the menu.jsp, so I can define the menu as follows:
<definition name="main.menu" path="/layout/menu.jsp">
<put name="section" value="string1"/>
<put name="subsection" value="string2"/>
</definition>
Now when I go to define each of my application pages based on my main page definition, how can I pass the menu parameters? This is where I lose it..
<definition name="page1" extends="main">
<put name="main.menu" ....????
insert section value = "string1"
insert subsection value = "string2"
<put name="body" value="/somefolder/pageone.jsp"/>
</definition>
On the menu.jsp, I want to do an <tiles:importAttribute> or <tiles:getAsString> call which gets the "section" and "subsection" parameters.
Please help :)
Marcella

Hi,
Sorry for this late answer, I am abroad since 2 weeks, and have some
trouble with my mails.
I see different solutions to your problem:
Sol 1:
Define different menu definition, and use them in your page definition:
<definition name="main.menu2" extends="main.menu">
<put name="section" value="string1"/>
<put name="subsection" value="string2"/>
</definition>
<definition name="page1" extends="main">
<put name="main.menu2" />
<put name="body" value="/somefolder/pageone.jsp"/>
</definition>
Sol 2:
Provide menu parameters to main layout, and let the layout pass
parameters to your menu:
<definition name="page1" extends="main">
<put name="menu.section" value="string1"/>
<put name="menu.subsection" value="string2"/>
<put name="body" value="/somefolder/pageone.jsp"/>
</definition>
in your /layout/main.jsp:
...
<tiles:insert attribute="menu" >
<tiles:put beanName="menu.section" beanScope="tiles"/>
<tiles:put beanName="menu.subsection" beanScope="tiles"/>
</tiles:insert >
...
