Key: TILES-475
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/TILES-475
Project: Tiles
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.2.0, 2.1.3
Reporter: David Smith
Add wildcard support to the extends attribute of the tile definition.
<definition name="sales_rates_application.layout"
extends="general.logon.layout">
<put-attribute name="title_page_name" value="Sales Rates" />
</definition>
<definition name="*_kickoff.page" extends="{1}_application.layout">
<put-attribute name="body" value="/pages/{1}/{1}_kickoff.jsp" />
</definition>
where * = sales_rates
Email from user group wildcard discussion on 10/05/2009:
> Yet you can have a wildcard in the template definition. Isn't the
> parent just an extension of the template.
The parent should be considered a half-filled template.
However, I changed my mind. It is difficult to do, but not impossible, the
wildcard-based definitions should be evaluated and resolved only when requested.
Can you open a JIRA issue please? And if you want to submit a patch, you're
welcome :-D
Ciao
