Inheritance in tile definitions II
My thanks to all those who offered suggestions for my first problem.
Let's say that I have the following in a definitions file:
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<!-- -->
<!-- Form Layout -->
<!-- -->
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<definition name="form.layout" page="/layouts/formLayout.jsp">
<put name="system-short-name" value="TDL"/>
<put name="user-name" value="Guest"/>
<put name="title" value="Form Page Layout"/>
<put name="header" value="/common/header.jsp"/>
<put name="content" value="${content}"/>
<put name="footer" value="/common/footer.jsp"/>
<put name="debug" value="/debug.jsp"/>
</definition>
<definition name="login.form" extends="form.layout">
<put name="title" value="Login Form"/>
<put name="content" value="/security/login.jsp"/>
</definition>
When I access title using GetAsString from formLayout.jsp, I get the expected value of Login Form.
How do I access the value of title from header.jsp?
Thank you,
Ed

Ed,
The list archives describe this problem. I didn't understand it until I
tested it.
Inside the main definition, /layouts/formLayout.jsp, you'd normally have a
segment like this:
<tiles:get name="header"/>
Instead, they say to pass any tile-defined attribute, you must use an insert
and put in the place where you include that "included" page such as:
<tiles:insert attribute="header">
<tiles:put name="title" beanName="title" beanScope="tile" />
</tiles:insert>
This is odd but did indeed work for me a second ago to show my title in my
header.jsp using <tile:getAsString name="title" />
It came from here:

David

When I simply place a getAsString in the header.jsp, I get an error message
which says that title can not be found in the context. I get the same for
useAttribute.

Ed,
The tile definition is initialized before the pages/jsp's/actions are
called. You can therefore access any name in any component as long as that
component is tiles aware. In the case of your JSP's, juse use the tiles
taglib and do what you did in header.jsp to obtain the title (a getAsString,
if I recall correctly). In the case of an action, you'd need to subclass
the TilesAction to manipulate it directly (i.e. to set the title from within
the Action directly, or perhaps set a content section if the page is
dynamic).
Regards,
David
