How do you pass a variable controllerClass name to the classicLayout.jsp in Tiles?

[Lou Morin <lm...@tarponweb.com>]

I'm trying to pass the "controller" name from the tiles definition to the classicLayout.jsp.
The value does get passed to classicLayout.jsp ... but, the <tiles:insert> tag has a problem with it
because the  <%=myController%> does not get substituded ... does anybody know how to get around this problem?

Thanks,
Lou


- In tiles-def.xml:

  <definition name="ysw.mainLayout" path="/layouts/classicLayout.jsp">
   <put name="title"  value="Testing Title" />
   <put name="header" value="/tiles/common/header.jsp" />
   <put name="menu"   value="ysw.menu.bar" />
   <put name="body"   value="/jsp/welcome.jsp" />
   <put name="footer" value="/tiles/common/footer.jsp" />
   <put name="controller" value="com.ysw.admin.MyTileController" />
  </definition>
   


- In classicLayout.jsp:

   <logic:present name="controller">
     <tiles:useAttribute id="myController" name="controller" classname="java.lang.String"/>
     <tiles:insert attribute='body'  controllerClass="<%=myController%>">
     </tiles:insert>
   </logic:present>

   <logic:notPresent name="controller" >
     <tiles:insert attribute='body'>
     </tiles:insert>
   </logic:notPresent>

 It is because the controllerClass  attribute is not specified as 
"rtexpr" in the tiles tld file. You can change the declaration to true 
and it should work. This is probably a bug !
