Tiles 2 Help

Hi,

I just started using Struts 2 (2.0.6) and Tiles 2 (2.0.1).  But my first
simple example didn't work. Please help!

In tiles.xml, I have:

<tiles-definitions>

<definition name="TypeA" template="/ui/layout/myLayout.jsp">
  <put name="title"  type="string"  value="Hello World" />
</definition>

</tiles-definitions>

myLayout.jsp looks like this:

<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles" %>
<HTML>
  <HEAD>
    <TITLE><tiles:getAsString name="title"/></TITLE>
  </HEAD>
<BODY>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="title"/>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I was hoping to have "Hello World" displayed in both page title and body.
Unfortunately, all that I got was a blank page. I tried a few alternatives
but still could not get the expected result.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

Tiles 2.0.3 will be released officially very soon. Are you using the
test build? If yes, don't worry, this will be the "official" 2.0.3
release :-)
Anyway notice that 2.0.3 has been declared as alpha quality, so expect
some changes (though I don't think that it will impact on normal
users, I mean xml and jsp won't change).

Well, guess I have learned. :-)

I am using Tiles 2.0.3 for a brand new development project.  Is there a new
version of Tiles planned?  If so, will it change a lot too?

Cheers,

Daniel

It's not an appearance :-) The Tiles 2 DTD changed a lot between 2.0.1
and 2.0.3, and so did the tag libraries.

Hi Antonio,

I figured it out ... Apparently the Tiles 2 DTD is different from version
1.  In tiles.xml, after I changed <put name="title" ..> to <put-attribute
name="title" ..>, it worked.

Thanks!

Daniel
