I think I understand - AttributeContext is created per a tile (ie.
/tiles/layout.jsp, /tiles/menu.jsp, etc) and it isn't possible to use
it outside of the tile - which looks like a bug to me :)
I have a very simple tiles.xml:
<tiles-definitions>
<definition name="baseLayout" template="/tiles/layout.jsp">
<put-attribute name="title" value="Template"/>
<put-attribute name="header" value="/tiles/header.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="menu" value="/tiles/menu.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="body" value="/tiles/body.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="footer" value="/tiles/footer.ftl"/>
</definition>
<definition name="hello" extends="baseLayout">
<put-attribute name="title" value="Hello"/>
<put-attribute name="body" value="/example/HelloWorld.jsp"/>
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
and now an attribute "title" is only accessible inside "layout.jsp",
it won't be accessible in header.jsp, menu.jsp and so on as for each
of this tile a new empty AttributeContext is created. I would assume
that the attributes will be inherited in that case, but they aren't.
I have tested this by simply adding <tiles:insertAttribute
name="title"/> tag to menu.jsp and got exception:
org.apache.tiles.template.NoSuchAttributeException: Attribute 'title'
not found
How can I tell Tiles to inherit attributes?
