I've never used Tiles, but one approach would be to put the title in a
properties file:
parcelsTitle=Consignment Note for {0}
Then set up a Tiles attribute to hold the key for the title message. I guess it
would look something like:
<definition name="tiles.customer.title.parcels"
extends="tiles.default.layout">
<put name="titleKey" value="parcelsTitle"/>
<put name="content" value="/pages/customerTitleParcels.jsp"/>
</definition>
Then create a scoped variable to hold the key (not sure if this is right):
<tiles:importAttribute name="titleKey"/>
Finally, use <bean:message> with the key and dynamic customer name:
<jsp:useBean id="customerName" type="java.lang.String"/>
<bean:message name="titleKey" arg0="<%= customerName %>"/>
Or:
<bean-el:message name="titleKey" arg0="${customerName}"/>
