I dont think this will work because the error seems due to the > <bean:define id="statusPercent" > name="statusBarPercent" scope="request" > type="java.lang.String"/>
So what you can do is use logic:present tag and use this bean:define inside the logic present so that the bean define will be evaluated only if the bean is there in request scope...But this seems a bit too contrived logic.If anybody can give a clean solution for this nesting tiles problem,I will be too happy.. Any tiles experts listening?
