and tag

[Frank Kim <fk...@firstgenetic.net>]

I have a quick question regarding the difference in terms of functionality between <put> tag and <tiles:put> tag, with <tiles:put> tag, you can pass objects through beanName attribute
example:

foo.jsp
<jsp:useBean .. name="someBean"/>

<tiles:insert definition="bar">
  <tiles:put name="list" beanName="somebean"/>

However with the <put> tag, you can only pass string, page, template or definitions.  Is there a good reason for this difference?  The only way to pass objects in separate XML file is through the <putList> tag, which baffles me since there might be instances where I want to define a simle attribute to contain an Object, is there a plan to create something like:

<definition name="foo.bar">
  <putObject name="topMenuItem" type="org.apache.struts.tiles.beans.SimpleMenuItem" 
		 value="Click me" link="foo.bar"/> ..


Thanks in advance.

Frank

  Hi,

  But where do you declare objects in the config file ? If we enable 
someting like beanName="someBean" in the config file, where does the 
bean should come from ?
