Just a sanity check: have you tried it? I'm not sure if extended
<put-list-attribute> tags are "additive" or not - meaning I'm not sure
if things added in extended <put-list-attribute> tags are added to the
original list or if the extended list replaces the original. If it
doesn't work one thing you could try is creating a placeholder list in
the master tile and putting attributes in it in the child tile. For
example:
<definition name="js-tile" template="/WEB-INF/tiles/fragments/jstile.jsp">
<put-list-attribute name="js_files">
<add-attribute value="/js/prototype.js"/>
<add-attribute value="/js/common.js" />
<add-attribute value="/js/messages.js" />
<add-attribute value="/js/mousePos.js"/>
</put-list-attribute>
<put-list-attribute name="js_extended"/>
</definition>
<definition name="my-other-tile">
<put-list-attribute name="js_extended">
<add-attribute value="/js/myotherjs.js"/>
</put-list-attribute>
</definition>
Then in your template you would need to reference both the "js_files"
and "js_extended" attributes.
