The tiles context is defined around the definition actually called - in your case
aPage. So main.jsp can see baseAttribute and set it up for subsequent pages.
You should 'see' the attribute if you put the following in main.jsp prior to
tiles:insert for header or body.
<tiles:useAttribute id=" baseAttribute" name=" baseAttribute" scope="request"/>
You can then access it like a typical bean in body.jsp or header.jsp use either a
scriplet or logic tags like this:
<logic:equal name=" baseAttribute" value="sample">
<b>got it</b>
</logic:equal>

Subject: RE: accessing Attribute of a parent-tile-definition
Bad luck. I didn't succeed with the suggestion of Cal.
I searched the archive for the cited posting. I found it, but it does not fit
my needs. I tried anything like Cal's suggestion, but it did not work for me.
I have no Jsp-file where I import a tile and for so I have no place to put the
<tiles:useAttribute...>.
My tiles reside in XML-files and I use defintion names as action target.
The jsp-file where I need the attribute is a component and the base
tile-definition has no jsp-file.
Following the documentation, the <put ...> statement has no scope attribute,
but the <definition ...> has such an attribute. So I added a scope-attribute
to the <definition ...>
The result is a SAXParseException saying attribute "scope" must be declared
for element type "definition".
Remember my situation:
tiles-config.xml:
<definition name="base">
<put name="baseAttribute" value="sample"/>
</definition>
<definition name="aPage" extends="base" path="main.jsp">
<put name="header" value="header.jsp"/>
<put name="body" value="body.jsp"/>
<definition>
Now in page main.jsp I can access attribute "baseAttribute".
But in header.jsp as well as body.jsp I got the error: attribute
"baseAttribute" not found in context.
Also I tried to extend the base definition with a "dummy.jsp", just containing
the <tiles:useAttribute ...>, but I could not access the attribute in i.e.
body.jsp.
In the body.jsp I tried the access with <tiles:getAsString ...> and with
<bean:write ...>
So I have no more idea, what to try.
Anybody out there, who could help me?
Thank you for any help.
kind regards
Reinhard
