useAttribute:
Declare a Java variable, and an attribute in the specified scope, using tile
attribute value.
Java variable and attribute will have the name specified by 'id', or the original name
if not specified.
So I believe for tiles def:
<definition name="paymentHistory" extends="mainLayout">
<put name="title" value="Payment History"/>
<putList name="centerList">
<add value="/searchBySsn.jsp"/>
<add value="/paymenthistory.jsp"/>
</putList>
</definition>
In the jsp page:
<tiles:useAttribute id="javaVariable" name="title"/>
Will allow
<c:out value="${javaVariable}"/>
And yes, for this example I could have used <tile:getAsString name="title"/>. :)
Not sure what you mean by pass in a bean to your tiles setup though.
