Antonio Petrelli commented on TILES-336:
----------------------------------------

Your request for putAttribute does not make sense IMHO. In putAttribute you 
already specify a value to put, go from another source (e.g. a literal string, 
EL expression, etc.).
Letting the putAttrbute tag decide between two values is additional logic that 
other things do better.
For instance, you can easily implement this logic with <c:if> or <c:choose> 
tags.

> When I use the putAttribute tag in a jsp page I would like to give it a 
> default value if it cannot find the specified attribute. This could be done 
> by maybe place the default content in the body of the tag or by having a 
> special default attribute added to the tag. Of course we could use some

> handled by the tag that would result in much cleaner code.
