Expression language in extends attribute

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it could be possible in a future release of Tiles to
be able to use
expression language (E.L) in the "extends" attribute of a definition ?

Here is an example:


<definition name="page1" extends="${my.expression.language}" >
      <put-attribute name="title" value="Tiles application - Page 1" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/jsp/body1.jsp" />
  </definition>

Thank you in advance

It could be interesting, so please open a JIRA issue:
https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/TILES
and remember that if you contribute, the work gets done faster :-D

Anyway why do you need it? Can you show us a real use-case?
