Use of expressions to pass attributes to an insertDefintion

[Jose Luis Martinez Avial <jl...@pb-santander.com>]

Hello,

                I'm using Tiles 2.2.2. I'm have a definition as follows:

 

       <definition name="switchable.layout" template="/WEB-INF/jsp/switchable-layout.jsp">

              <put-attribute name="content" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/content-pane-title.jsp" cascade="true"/>

       </definition>

 

       I want to insert a definition inside switchable-layout.jsp; and I would like to pass the attribute content to the definition in the jsp. It should be something as follows:

 

                <tiles:insertDefinition name="my.layout" flush="true">

                                <tiles:putAttribute  name="menu" value="menu.chunk" cascade="true"/>

                                <tiles:putAttribute  name="content" expression="${content}" cascade="true"/>

                </tiles:insertDefinition>

 

                When I do that, I got the following error in the screen:

 

switchable-layout.jsp:40:39: Static attribute must be a String literal, its illegal to specify an expression.

       <tiles:putAttribute  name="content" expression="${content}" cascade="true"/>

                                             ^--------^

switchable-layout.jsp:40:39: Static attribute must be a String literal, its illegal to specify an expression.

       <tiles:putAttribute  name="content" expression="${content}" cascade="true"/>

 

                How can I pass the attribute from the original definition to the inserted one?

 

                Thanks

 

JL
