Hi Susan,
Looking through the code, I believe getAsString does not currently
support expressions. That's weird, I believe it should not be difficult
to implement.
Can you file an improvement request on jira?
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TILES) I'll see if I can put a
patch together this week and coordinate a new release.
Thanks,
Nick.

Hi.
I'm having an issue with configuring tiles 3.0.4 with spring 3.2.10
the following layout.jsp file succeeds to get the title which is set via
value=, while the css and footer which is set via the el functionality fails
with a nullpointerexception..
but the footer only fails in getAsString, but not in insertAttribute, so i
believe it should work in getAsString as well.
Am I missing something?
