Are wildcards allowed in the extends attribute of a tiles definition?
Using tiles 2.1.3 with struts 2.0.14
Started with
<definition name="sales_rates_application.layout"
extends="general.logon.layout">
<put-attribute name="title_page_name" value="Sales Rates" />
</definition>
<definition name="sales_rates_kickoff.page"
extends="sales_rates_application.layout">
<put-attribute name="body"
value="/pages/sales_rates/sales_rates_kickoff.jsp" />
</definition>
Added wildcards to the body. This works
<definition name="*_kickoff.page"
extends="sales_rates_application.layout">
<put-attribute name="body"
value="/pages/{1}/{1}_kickoff.jsp" />
</definition>
Added wildcard to extends. This doesn't work.
<definition name="*_kickoff.page"
extends="{1}_application.layout">
<put-attribute name="body"
value="/pages/{1}/{1}_kickoff.jsp" />
</definition>
