Thats an excellent solution for the i18n part. I will change my code to use
this method.
I still don't know what the best way to add variables to the title tho. I know
i can have variable placeholders in my resource file ex.
resource_en.properties
record.detail.title=Record Detail:{0}
user.detail.title=User Detail:{0}
application.title=Hello World Application
tiles.xml
<definition name="foo" extends=".template"> <put name="titleKey"
value="record.detail.title" type="string"/></definition>
jsp template page
// Somehow i need to pass in optional variables that are provided by my
controller to the title
<fmt:message key="${titleNameKey}"/>
Is this possible with tiles?
btw, sorry for posting to two mailing lists about this if thats bad form.
