Inheritence and tile definitions III
My previous problems with title have been solved, but now I have an analogous problem with "content". The idea of the definitions below is that I want to have a base.layout that determines the header and footer for all pages. Base layout contains a "body" which can be replaced by different format JSPs, as in the form.layout and page.layout definitions. login.form extends form.layout and passes it a "title" and "content". Title is working fine, but I am getting an error saying that content can not be found in context.
I have added the following lines to baseLayout.jsp to attempt to resolve the issue.
<tiles:insert attribute="body">
<logic:present name="content"><tiles:put name="content" beanName="content" beanScope="tile"/></logic:present>
<logic:present name="menu"><tiles:put name="menu" beanName="menu" beanScope="tile"/></logic:present>
</tiles:insert>
The above did not work. Any suggestions would be welcome.

RE: Inheritence and tile definitions III
Posted by David Friedman <hu...@ix.netcom.com>.
Ed,
>From the previous tiles problem, it seems as though the base definition is
key and must list everything that needs to be 'global'. So, it might fix
your problem if you make sure all elements are in it. I.e. in
"base.layout", try including your content, which is defined everywhere
EXTENDING the base.layout but not IN the base.layout:
<put name="content" value="${content}"/>
Regards,
David

My previous problems with title have been solved, but now I have an

extends form.layout and passes it a "title" and "content". Title is working
fine, but I am getting an error saying that content can not be found in
