A colleague helped me with the following work around:
First, in tile-def.xml->
<definition name="main" path="/layout/main.jsp">
<put name="header" value="/layout/header.jsp"/>
<put name="menu" value="/layout/menu.jsp"/>
<put name="body" value="/layout/body.jsp"/>
</definition>
<definition name="page1" extends="main">
<put name="/layout/menu.jsp?parameter=value"/>
<put name="body" value="/somefolder/pageone.jsp"/>
</definition>
Then in menu.jsp ->
<% String param = request.getParameter("parameter");
pageContext.setAttribute("param", param, PageContext.PAGE_SCOPE); %>
It's ok, but I was hoping that I could pass the parameter using a tag in the
tiles-def.xml then use the <tiles:getAsString name="parameter"> tag in the JSP.
