After upgrading from Tiles 2 to Tiles 3, it seems overriding attributes stopped working.
My tiles.xml
has something like this where create-form
extends from baseLayout
. I'm getting null for the "title" attribute (but the other attributes "menu", "left", "body" are all overridden correctly). Why doesn't this work anymore for "title"? Is "title" now a reserved word?
<definition name="baseLayout" template="/WEB-INF/layout/wireframe.jsp">
<put-attribute name="title" value="" />
<put-attribute name="menu" value="/WEB-INF/layout/menu.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="left" value="/WEB-INF/layout/left.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/layout/body.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="create-form" extends="baseLayout">
<put-attribute name="title">Create New Item</put-attribute>
<put-attribute name="menu" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/forms/create-menu.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="left" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/forms/create-leftNavBar.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/forms/create-body.jsp" />
</definition>
This solved my problem. I don't know why overriding an attribute in Tiles 3 only worked using the
value
attribute (not using the body of the<put-attribute>
tag).
