Hi Chris,
One approach would be to specify a key to use in the tile definition rather than the
actual text to use as the title.
So in your tiles-defs.xml you have:
<put name="pageTitleKey" value="title.somepagekey" />
In your JSP you have something like:
<tiles:importAttribute name="pageTitleKey"/>
<bean:message key="${pageTitleKey}"/>
In your resource bundles:
title.somepagekey=Some Page Title
Using this approach you add a layer of indirection between you tile-definition and the
text used for the title of the page :-)
This approach can also be extended to allow per-page/view configuration of individual
tiles to enable re-use of the same JSP across a whole webapp, where the presentation
of that tile is dependant upon the context (view) within which it appears - but that's
another thread...
Cheers,
Alan Treadway
