Ok, let me get this straight. I'll go down the list and you see if I
have each step correct:
1. Put a string in some scope, like the request scope:
request.setAttribute("thispagetitle", results.getWhatever());
2. In my "results" page, I want the title of that page to be the value
that I sent back as "thispagetitle", so I will do this:
<tiles:useAttribute id="thispagetitle" name="pagetitle"/>
Which will put the value of "thispagetitle" into "pagetitle".
3. Then, in my template file, whatever is put into "pagetitle" will be
displayed:
<title>Results: <tiles:getAsString name="pagetitle"/></title>
...which should display getWhatever() in step #1.
Is that the way this thing works?
Thank you for your help!
