Ed, The tile definition is initialized before the pages/jsp's/actions are called. You can therefore access any name in any component as long as that component is tiles aware. In the case of your JSP's, juse use the tiles taglib and do what you did in header.jsp to obtain the title (a getAsString, if I recall correctly). In the case of an action, you'd need to subclass the TilesAction to manipulate it directly (i.e. to set the title from within the Action directly, or perhaps set a content section if the page is dynamic).

Let's say that I have the following in a definitions file: <!-- ===================================================================== --> --> <!-- Form --> --> <!-- ===================================================================== --> <definition name="form.layout" page="/layouts/formLayout.jsp"> <put name="system-short-name" value="TDL"/> <put name="user-name" value="Guest"/> <put name="title" value="Form Page Layout"/> <put name="header" value="/common/header.jsp"/> <put name="content" value="${content}"/> <put name="footer" value="/common/footer.jsp"/> <put name="debug" value="/debug.jsp"/> </definition> <definition name="login.form" extends="form.layout"> <put name="title" value="Login Form"/> <put name="content" value="/security/login.jsp"/> </definition> When I access title using GetAsString from formLayout.jsp, I get the expected value of Login Form. How do I access the value of title from header.jsp? Thank you, Ed
