Re: how to access tiles defs in inserted jsp ?

[Michael Muller]

i tried this, and got the following error in my jsp:

Error - tag.getAsString : attribute 'foo' not found in context. Check 
tag syntax'

I had to change the tag to say

<tiles:getAsString name="foo" />

since attribute is not an attribute of getAsString.

Sneaky little issue on this one.  Try the following...

in tiles-defs.xml change
<definition name="myTilesPageDef" path="myPageTemplate.jsp">
to
<definition name="myTilesPageDef" template="myPageTemplate.jsp">
and in myBodyImpl.jsp change
foo = <tiles:insert attribute="foo" />
to
foo = <tiles:getAsString attribute="foo" />

Subject: how to access tiles defs in inserted jsp ?


How do I access the value of a tiles setting from a JSP that 
is inserted 
into a template?  For instance, in the following scenario, I want a 
rendering of "myTilesPageDef" to say "<b>foo = bar</b>", but it just 
says "<b>foo = </b>".  I've tried some ugly hacks, which in 
addition to 
be ugly, didn't work.

Help!

Thanks,

tiles-defs.xml:

  <definition name="myTilesPageDef" path="myPageTemplate.jsp">
    <put name="body" value="myBodyImpl.jsp" />
    <put name="foo" value="bar" type="string" />
  </definition>
myPageTemplate.jsp:

  <b><tiles:insert attribute="body" /></b>

myBodyImpl.jsp:

  foo = <tiles:insert attribute="foo" />
