Thanks, Cedric. I got this to work in the perform method of my Action
class:
ComponentDefinition definition =
DefinitionsUtil.getDefinition(mapping.findForward("success").getPath(),
request,
getServlet().getServletContext());
definition.putAttribute( "title", "Overloaded title" );
DefinitionsUtil.setActionDefinition( request, definition);
Does it make sense to override the Tiles ActionServlet to invoke the
above code to make some dynamic attributes available to all of my
definition views? Or would the Controller class be a better solution?
