Hi Kurt, Thanks for the response. Unfortunately this does not seem to work in a page included by the layout template, i.e. <tiles:insert...> or <tiles:getAsString...> both work fine in the template, e.g. in this case "rootLayout.jsp".
"page.jsp" is a tile used by the template and the attribute does not seem to be available at this point and this is where I get the error: "[ServletException in:/page.jsp] Error - tag.getAsString : attribute 'x' not found in context. Check tag syntax'". Do you have any other ideas, please to make the attribute available to a page included/referenced by the layout template.

Attempting to do <tiles:insert attribute="x"/> in page gives a "Error - Tag Insert : No value found for attribute 'x'". I've also tried using the <importAttribute/> tag but this does not seem to allow access to the attribute. Sorry if this is a dumb question with a simple answer but we really have tried reading every bit of documentation available on Tiles but are still failing to grasp this.
