btw, I've also tried this slight variation:
tiles.xml
<definition name="foo" extends=".template"> <put> name="titleKey"
value="record.detail.title" type="string"/> <put> name="titleKeyParam1"
value="${recordId}" type="string"/></definition>
Which gives me the page title: "Record Detail: ${recordId}". Also giving me
the problem that it is not evaluating the expression.
