Sounds simple, but it isn't: How to pass an attribute to a nested tile?

[Daniel Draws <da...@helenos.de>]

Hi all!

Is there anybody out there who can solve the following problem:

I have a main and a more special tile defintion declared in the
tiles-defs.xml:

<definition name="view.base.layout" page="/mainlayout.jsp">
  <put name="head" value="..."/>
  <put name="body" value=""/>
  <put name="menu" value="..."/>
  <put name="foot" value="..."/>
</definition>
<definition extends="view.base.layout" name="view.special.layout">
  <put name="body" value="/special.jsp"/>
</definition>


the special.jsp defines a more conrete layout for the body:

<some html snippet>

 <tiles:insert attribute="content"/>

</some html snippet>



Now I want to define a concrete jsp, wich inserts the view.special.layout
and passes the content attribute through that to the special.jsp.

My idea was the following jsp:

<tiles:insert defintion="view.special.layout">
 <tiles:put name="content" type="string">
  <some special html />
 </tiles:put>
</tiles:insert>


So what? I was a little bit naive and at the end this doesn't work.

Is there anybody out there who could help me?

thanks for your help!

daniel

Daniel,

This thread discusses something similar:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-user&m=105290962918724&w=2

It's a bit long, and the discussion seemed to help one of the two 
original questioners.  It may work for you too.

HTH,

Tim
