Tiles/Template Automation

If I want to avoid defining attributes in multiple locations, and modifying 
more than one file for each new page, how should I use Tiles/Templates?

To clarify:

I want all files in a certain directory to use the same template.
I also want the attributes, like Title, to be contained in the files 
themselves.

This means that I can add a page, simply by creating it in the right 
location.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

A.

    Hi,

   Sorry for this late answer, I am abroad since 2 weeks, and have some 
trouble with my mails.

    The preferred way is to use definitions defined in a centralized xml
file. This is more flexible than having some attributes hardcoded in the
jsp files themselves.
