First of all, you't better upgrade to Tiles 2.0.6.

No, it's not your problem.

This piece of code does not work, since the <tiles:getAsString> does
not get an attribute from the context "outside" the
<tiles:insertAttribute>, but from a new context created with the
opening of the <tiles:insertAttribute> itself.
I think that you want to "pass through" the attributes from a template
to an inner template, right?
To fix it, you have three choices:
1. Use <tiles:importAttribute> to import attributes and then use it in
<tiles:putAttribute>
For example:
<tiles:importAttribute name="pageContent">
...
<tiles:insertAttribute name="pageContent">
<tiles:putAttribute name="pageContent" value="${pageContent}" />
....
2. Refactor your definitions (best choice with Tiles 2.0.x) to create
an inner definition and put it instead, so add a new level of nested
definitions.
3. Use Tiles 2.1 "cascaded" attributes: you can define an attribute
that cascades at all nested levels of attributes (documentation under
development).
Let me know how it goes.
