I sent this tiles issue the wrong list.
Sorry for crossposting to struts and tiles.
BTW:
Got it working with an additional import statement:
Main.jsp
<tiles:importAttribute name="activeTab" scope="request"/>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="navigation" flush="false" ignore="false"/>
<tiles:useAttribute is also not required any more in navigation.jsp.

Subject: migration to tiles2 - put attribute into request scope?
Hi,
I migrated a webApp from tiles1 to tiles 2.0.5 and got one thing not working.
I cannot put an attribute into request scope to make it accessible by other
frameworks.
Sample code is below: It is the attribute with name=activeTab
tiles 1:
<definition name=".mainLayout" path="/WEB-INF/layout/main.jsp">
<put name="header" value="/WEB-INF/layout/header.jsp"/>
<put name="navigation" value="/pages/empty.jsp"/>
<put name="content" value="/pages/empty.jsp"/>
<put name="activeTab" value=""/>
</definition>
<definition name="/batches.tiles" extends=".mainLayout">
<put name="navigation" value="/WEB-INF/layout/navigation.jsp"/>
<put name="content" value="/pages/bcontent.jsp"/>
<put name="activeTab" value="ba"/>
</definition>
main.jsp:
<tiles:insert attribute="navigation" flush="false" ignore="false">
<tiles:put name="activeTab" beanName="activeTab"/>
</tiles:insert>
navigation.jsp
<tiles:useAttribute id="activeTab" name="activeTab" ignore="true"
classname="java.lang.String" scope="request"/>
tiles2:
<definition name=".mainLayout" template="/WEB-INF/layout/main.jsp">
<put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/layout/header.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="navigation" value="/pages/empty.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="content" value="/pages/empty.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="activeTab" value=""/>
</definition>
<definition name="/batches.tiles" extends=".mainLayout">
<put-attribute name="navigation" value="/WEB-INF/layout/navigation.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="content" value="/pages/bcontent.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="activeTab" value="ba"/>
</definition>
main.jsp:
<tiles:insertAttribute name="navigation" flush="false" ignore="false">
<tiles:putAttribute name="activeTab" value="activeTab"/>
</tiles:insertAttribute>
navigation.jsp
<tiles:useAttribute id="activeTab" name="activeTab" ignore="true"
classname="java.lang.String" scope="request"/>
How can I place the content of activeTab (here "ba") into request scope to make
it accessible by other frameworks?
Currently the String "activeTab" is passed but I want to pass "ba".
Thanks,
Michael
