The alternative would be to keep it in a seperate CSS file and include it
in the valid position for styles using the layout.jsp (as for the main CSS
file).
With Tiles 2.0 it is the only way, probably...
However, it would be ideal if I could put the CSS in the content tile, but
wrap it in a Tiles tag of some kind (e.g. <tiles:includeInOtherFile
var="specialCss"> ) that would pipe the body out of that tile and into the
layout tile:
<tiles:includeFromMemory var="specialCss">
Is that already possible? Or if not, does it sound feasible, or is my
layout tile already written to out before the content tile is processed?
I think it is not possible this way, since, when the "body" is
processed" the "header" has already been processed and it can't come
back.
However, in Tiles 2.1 (that you can find in svn trunk) you could use
the "cascaded" attributes.
For example, if you have a different CSS segment per page, you can do:
<definition name="myDefinition" template="/layout.jsp">
<put-attribute name="specialCss" value="${requestScope.specialCss}"
cascade="true" />
<!-- Here goes the rest of the definition -->
</definition>
So if I made a taglib that stored the CSS in its body into the request
attribute, e.g. requestScope.specialCss, a bit like this:
<adam:style var="specialCss">
#ContextBody div.repo span { width: 25px; }
</adam:style>
then I could achieve this? Or do you mean that it's not possible?
I don't know what order the various tiles parts are executed.
My layout.jsp definition is inherited by every JSP like so:
<definition name="layout.tile" template="/WEB-INF/jsp/layout.jsp">
<put-attribute name="focalPointTile" type="template"
value="/WEB-INF/jsp/focalpoint.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="smallPrintTile" type="template"
value="/WEB-INF/jsp/smallprint.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="contextHeaderTile" type="template"
value="/WEB-INF/jsp/contextheader.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="menuTile" type="template"
value="/WEB-INF/jsp/menu.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="subMenuTile" type="template"
value="/WEB-INF/jsp/submenu.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="tilesBrowserTitle" type="string"
value="general.browserTitle" />
</definition>
<definition name="categoryList.tile" extends="layout.tile">
<put-attribute name="bodyContentTile"
value="/WEB-INF/jsp/category/list.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="tilesContextHeader" type="string"
value="category.list.pageHeader" />
<put-attribute name="subMenuTile"
value="/WEB-INF/jsp/category/submenu.jsp" />
</definition>
