Here is how i'm trying to do it for java imports:
tiles definitions are:
<definition name=".baseLayout" template="/WEB-INF/tiles/baseLayout.jsp">
<put-attribute name="pageName" value="baseLayout"/>
<put-attribute name="title" value="Template"/>
<!-- more goes here -->
</definition>
<definition name=".login" extends=".baseLayout">
<put-attribute name="pageName" value="login"/>
<put-attribute name="title" value="Login"/>
<put-attribute name="body"
value="/WEB-INF/jsp/publicpages/login.jsp"/>
</definition>
baeLayout.jsp:
<%@ taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"; %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; %>
<%@ include file="/WEB-INF/jsp/common/javaimport.jsp" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table width="75%" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
border="0" class="mainOuterTable">
<tr>
<td>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="header" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%"
class="tableBorderMain">
<tr>
<td>
<br/><br/>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="body" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="footer" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
login.jsp:
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; %>
<form >
User:<input type='text' name='username'/>
Password:<input type='password' name='password'/>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Login"/>
</form>
javaimports.jsp
<c:choose>
<c:when test = "${pageName=='login'}">
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
</c:when>
</c:choose>
Although all tag libraries are included in baseLayout.jsp but in login.jsp i
have to redeclare these like <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="
http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; %>. SHouldn't login.jsp take it from
baseLayout.jsp?
