Another try, but this time it involves a bit of hacking and exposing
some Tiles internals.
Associate a preparer to vertical.motor that accesses to the stack of
AttributeContext's:
ArrayStack<AttributeContext> contextStack =
(ArrayStack<AttributeContext>) tilesContext
.getRequestScope().get(ATTRIBUTE_CONTEXT_STACK);
Where ATTRIBUTE_CONTEXT_STACK has this value:
"org.apache.tiles.AttributeContext.STACK"
Get the element under the top of the stack, that it is the attribute
context of the parent definition (probably, it might be 2 under the
top, not sure) and transfer the attribute that is under the current
AttributeContext (parameter in the preparer).
Finally, in your template page do:
> <tiles:insertDefinition name="vertical.motor" preparer="my.Preparer"/>
> <tiles:insertAttribute name="description"/>
You can also associate the preparer in the tiles.xml file if you like.
Does it sound better? :-D
