We are using Tiles, as well as a custom tag library that renders content from Velocity Templates. These templates have HTML content in them, but they're mostly text - and this is our CMS (for now). The problem is is that we've developed our app in a way only our menu needs to know about the templates. So /appName/static/template will show the template page (wrapped in Tiles). The problem is, by the time I load the Tile, with the template, the page's title has already been set. Sure I could use JavaScript and set document.title in the Velocity template, but that does no good for search engine optimization. Another solution I thought of is to put the title into the URL in my menus, i.e. /appName/static/homeownerServices?title=Homeowner%20Services - but that's just plain ol' ugly to send as a URL (via e-mail and such).
Two other solutions I can think of:
1. Create a action-mapping and tile for each template (i.e. /appName/homeownerServices), and define the title in there.
2. Parse the template name and convert it to readable titles. This would require that I name all my templates so they have an appropriate title, but it just might work. In this example, /homeownerServices gets translated to Homeowner Services as a title.
I guess I'll go with #2 (see how simply posting these messages actually helps to solve things!), but I wanted to see if anyone else had any good suggestions/practices.
Thanks,
Matt
