Tile and Alias Bean

[Joel Wilson <jo...@devotionmedia.com>]

I am trying to use tiles to make designing an application admin  
interface much easier to maintain. I am having trouble getting tiles  
and alias to bean to work together and wonder if anyone knows of an  
workaround or the proper method for getting it to work. I'm including  
a short amount of my code that should help explain what I am trying  
to do.

     #### FROM adminMainLayout ####

         <x:aliasBean alias="#{simpleElementBean}" value="#{pageBean}">
         <x:aliasBean alias="#{dao}" value="#{typeDao}">
         <x:aliasBean alias="#{type}" value="#{typeDesc}">
                 <h:panelGrid columns="1">
                     <f:subview id="selectorAndControls">
                         <t:insert attribute="selectorAndControls"  
flush="false" />
                     </f:subview>
                     <f:subview id="elementPropertiesPane">
                         <t:insert attribute="elementPropertiesPane"  
flush="false"/>
                     </f:subview>
                 </h:panelGrid>
         </x:aliasBean>
         </x:aliasBean>
         </x:aliasBean>

     #### FROM tiles.xml ####
