Answering my own question. In tile-1.jsp when I define an attribute (<tiles:useAttribute) with request scope, I can reference it any of the contained tiles just like any other Java bean.

I would like to conditionally disable certain navigational buttons on some pages. I am trying to use the <tiles:put> and <tiles:useAttribute> to no avail. Here's a sample tile definition <definition name="tile.1" path="tile-1.jsp"> <put name="hideButton" value="yes"/> <put name="body" value="tile-1-body.jsp"/> <put name="nav" value="tile-1-nav.jsp"/> </definition> I find that I can access "hideButton" in tile-1.jsp but not in tile-1-nav.jsp. In other words, the following works in tile-1.jsp <tiles:useAttribute id="hide" name="hideButton" classname="java.lang.String"/> Hide value is <%=hide%> But not in any of tile-1-body.jsp or tile-1-nav.jsp. Is this expected behavior? Do you have any suggestions on how I can achieve what I am trying? The one workaround I have is to use a <bean:define> in tile-1.jsp and reference that bean in tile-1-nav.jsp.
