How to i18n a value in tiles-defs.xml

[ex...@nokia.com]

Hi.

I've seen lots of examples of putting together tiles definitions like
this:

<definition name="home.page>
  <put name="title" value="this is my home page"/>
  <put name="body" value="homepagebody.jsp"/>
</definition>

This is what I'm curious about: how do most folks internationalize the
title value?  You can't do it programmatically in tiles-defs.xml, so
you'd have to use some sort of mechanism akin to <bean:message
key="..."/> in a JSP, but I'm not sure if something like that is
available for Tiles1.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
-Bob

Do it this way:
<definition name="home.page">
  <put-attribute name="title" value="title.key"/>
  <put name="body" value="homepagebody.jsp"/>
</definition>

And in your JSP:

<tiles:importAttribute name="title" />
<fmt:message key="${title}" />
