<sigh>You must be new to Tiles :) It doesn't seem to work. Try it for
yourself, make yourself a controller called MyController who's success
forward, forwards to a tiles template called "tiles.template".
The tiles template can looks something like this:
<definition path="mainlayout.jsp" name="tiles.template">
<put name="page1" value="/page1.jsp" />
<put name="page2" value="/page2.jsp"/>
</definition>
Your mainlayout.jsp would look something like this:
<html>
<body>
<tiles:insert attribute="page1"/>
<tiles:insert attribute="page2"/>
</body>
</html>
In page1.jsp put the following:
<h1><%=request.getParameter("param1")%></h1>
Call your controller like so: MyController.do?param1=1
You will get the error: "bean param1 not found within scope".
However, I found a solution. In MyController, I simply use
request.getParameter("param1") and then take that value and place it back in
using request.setAttribute. Tiles or Struts does not seem to preserve the
request parameters from the original call for the Tiles which are being
forwarded to, so you have to do it manually (which might make sense?).
Craig.
P.S. I have read the specs :)
