Eric E created TILES-571:
----------------------------
Summary: Please make the significance of underscore (_) in tiles
definition filename more obvious
Key: TILES-571
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TILES-571
Project: Tiles
Issue Type: Task
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Environment: Apache Tomcat 7.0.42, JSE 1.7.0_45, Windows
Reporter: Eric E
Priority: Minor
In reading the Tiles documentation, it was not obvious to me that including an
underscore (_) in my tiles definition filename would cause Tiles to interpret
whatever follows the underscore as a locale.
For example, in my TilesConfigurer configuration, I had the following:
{code}
<bean id="tilesConfigurer"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesConfigurer">
<property name="definitions">
<list>
<value>/WEB-INF/templates/layouts.xml</value>
<value>/WEB-INF/views/base_views.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
{code}
This caused Tiles, apparently, to assign the Locale "views" to the second
definition. This was clearly not what I intended, and the side effect of this
was that Tiles discarded the second definition, and my view contained in that
definition could not be resolved.
Only after spending some time with a debugger did I discover the code in
org.apache.tiles.request.locale.PostfixedApplicationResource that causes this
behaviour.
It would be nice if the documentation more clearly warns developers about this
so that others do not have to go through the same trouble.
