> I am attempting to change an existing tiles definition during an execution
> of a Struts action. Example tiles definition:
>
> <definition name="layout" template="/layout.jsp">
> <put-attribute name="head" value="/head.jsp" />
> <put-attribute name="body" value="/login.jsp" />
> </definition>
>
> In the action I want to choose a correct body value based on some
> application specific rules. For example if I call: /user/1, the User
> action's show method is executed and the body attribute's value would turn
> into /user/show.jsp. This would prevent me from writing definitions for each
> possible case.

> Tile tutorial says I can get my hands on an attribute context (The class
> TilesAttributeContext does not exist in my tiles plugin build). In the
> action I do:
>
> TilesAttributeContext attributeContext = container.startContext(request,
> response);
> attributeContext.setAttribute("body", "/user/show.jsp");
> container.render("layout", request, response);
> container.endContext(request, response);

> I bet this is not the correct way to do it, because it seems that the tiles
> definition overrides the value I insert here. Even if I do this in an
> interceptor after the action result, the value is not changed.

> I suppose there is no option in tiles to define definition with wildcards.
> At least I did not find this option. I could point my action results

> </definition>
>
> <definition name="layout.*.*" extends="layout">
> <put-attribute name="body" value="/{1}/{2}.jsp" />
> </definition>

> So my question is how would I achieve what am I try to do? Am I on the right
