I have my pages defined in tiles-defs.xml thus:

<!-- main layout -->
<definition name="Main.layout" path="/_common/layouts/mainLayout.jsp">
  <put name="header" value="/_common/layouts/tiles/_header.jsp" />
  <put name="footer" value="/_common/layouts/tiles/_footer.jsp" />
</definition>

<!-- test Page -->
<definition name="Test.page" extends="Main.layout">
  <put name="title" value="Test" />
</definition>

mainLayout.jsp is:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<tiles:insert attribute="header" />
<tiles:insert attribute="footer" />

Test.jsp is:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<tiles:insert definition="Test.page" />

So following the from the click of the link to Test.jsp. The tiles for Test.page are looked up in the tiles-defs.xml. This shows that Test.page extends Main.layout, differing in the fact that Test.page has a title of the value of Test. title referenced in _header.jsp via <tiles:getAsString name="title" ignore="true" />.

However when the page is rendered it displays the _header.jsp and _footer.jsp tiles but does not give the new title, leaving it blank. If I remove the ignore="true" attribute from the getAsString tag then it renders nothing. Why doesn't the title get picked up?

Thanks, Graham Reeds
