By the way, what's the use case for putting definitions in a jsp? Why would someone prefer that method over another. . .

Good catch, I'd say let's add it back in as it will make the rest of the attribute tag processing a little simpler.

The only reason why we wouldn't want to modify the underlying ComponentAttribute would be if we want to support the case where:

1) type is calculated
2) no valid definition is found matching the name
3) type is set to string
4) definition is added to the container
5) tag is now in an invalid state as a recalculation would result in a type of 'definition'

I added that "preprocessAttribute" method simply because attributes in definitions created with DefinitionTag may be inconsistent, while those created in tiles-defs.xml are consistent after resolving attributes. In fact the "preprocessing" could be executed when the definition in DefinitionTag is created, therefore there won't be need for such a preprocessing in AttributeTag.

On the other hand, the benefit of setting the type after calculation is that it saves us a couple of nano-seconds because we don't have to recalculate the next time around (which is basically a couple of equals operations and a lookup in a map).

Speaking of performances, there is an issue for that:
http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SB-49

You have to read "AttributeTag" instead of "InsertTag". I did not update the issue waiting for an answer from you.
Thank you.

Ciao
