sounds like you haven't realised that tiles attributes are not given global scope. You have to explicitly "useAttribute" each time. That includes when you nest a child tile - you must "useAttribute" on it first, and then have it <put> again in-between the <insert>s for the child.

There's something I'm not understanding :-( I've got the following tiles definitions.
<definition name=".mainLayout" path="/tiles/layouts/mainLayout1.jsp"> <put name="header" value="/tiles/header.jsp"/> <put name="footer" value="/tiles/footer.jsp"/> <put name="content" value="${content}"/> << variable for substitution </definition>
<definition name=".portfolioLayout" path="/tiles/layouts/portfolioLayout.jsp"> <put name ="marketdata" value=".marketdata"/> <put name ="userinput" value=".userinput"/> <put name ="dataview" value="/tiles/dataview.jsp"/> </definition>
<definition name=".marketdata" path="/tiles/layouts/marketdataLayout.jsp"> <put name ="quotes" value="/tiles/quotes.jsp"/> <put name ="smithbarneyresearch" value="/tiles/research.jsp"/> <put name ="marketwatch" value="/tiles/marketwatch.jsp"/> </definition>
<definition name=".userinput" path="/tiles/layouts/userinputLayout.jsp"> <put name ="accountview" value="/tiles/accountview.jsp"/> <put name ="app-specific" value="${app-specific}"/> << variable for substitution </definition>
and I want to create a new tile, substituting values for both variable:
<definition name=".activity.detail" extends=".mainLayout"> <put name="content" value=".portfolioLayout"/> <put name="app-specific" value="/tiles/activityinfo.jsp"/> </definition>
But this doesn't work! The "content" variable is replaced as expected, but the "app-specific" variable
is ignored and doesn't show up at all. It looks like the only tile for which variable substitution is supported is the one that's specified in the "extends" attribute--not in any nested tile. Surely there must be a way to get around this...
