What's the relationship between the type attribute in the put and the classname in the useAttribute. I've just resolved some of my 'type' issues that occurred because I apparently don't understand it. What I was trying to do was:
- have a basedialog tile defined in tile-defs.xml that "puts" what will be the form action (e.g. <definition name="basedialog"> <put name="dialog-action" type="string" value=""/> </def... - have an "insert" that uses this tile and includes the form body from another file. (e.g. <tiles:insert definition="basedialog"> <tiles:put name="dialog-action" type="string" value="doSomething.do"/> </tiles:insert> - finally, have a the form insert the action: (e.g. <tiles:useAttribute id="dialog-action" name="dialog-action"/> <html:form action="<%=dialog-action%>"> The problem occurred in this last line giving some sort of Object/String type error. I figured out that I could alter it to <%=dialog-action.toString() %> and all is well. Then, I figured if i drop the "type" attribute on the 'put' declarations earlier, then use classname="String" on the useAttribute, all is well. However, I couldn't have type="string" and classname="String". What kind of object is a string vs a real String? At this point, I have something that works so I understand the "how" but there appear to be some casting subtleties that elude me so I'd like to get the "why" too.
