Philippe Laflamme updated STS-317:
----------------------------------
Attachment: layout-1.4.2.patch
A patch that overrides a layout-render tag's context with its layout-definiton
parent tag's context.
> Nested layouts: allow enclosing layout-render tag to layout components within
> a nested layout-definition (not just its own layout-definition)
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> I've hit a small but annoying limitation with nesting layout-definition tags.
> Lets say I create a new layout-definition file (/layout/special.jsp) that
> renders the /layout/default.jsp definition like so:
> <layout-definition>
> <layout-render name="/layout/default.jsp">
> <layout-component name="contents">
> <div id="imspecial">
> ${somethingSpecial} <%-- comming from a layout-component in enclosing
> tag--%>
> </div>
> </layout-component>
> </layout-render>
> </layout-definition>
> This works only in the situation where the enclosing tag only lays out the
> "somethingSpecial" component. There is no way to override or layout any of
> the "default.jsp" components such as header or footer.
> My suggestion (and patch) is that when a layout-render tag is within a
> layout-definition tag, the context of the layout-definition should override
> the context of the layout-render tag. This would move layout-components and
> parameters "downstream" into embedded layout-definitions until one of them
> renders it. I find that it makes layout-definitions easier to "extend".
> This might not find within the tags initial intent. If such an improvement is
> not possible, I'd like to know what are the best-practices when nesting
> layouts or event an alternative solutions to nesting...
