This looks like it would better to ask on the Tiles mailing list: http://tiles.apache.org/mail.html
(bottom of page to subscribe).

I am converting a web-based application to use Tiles. The
application has Java code embedded in the JSP pages. The general
template is something like the following which I've simplified:
<html>
<head>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="head" />
</head>
<body>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="content" />
</body>
</html>
Here is a sample JSP.
<tiles:insertTemplate template="/layouts/main.jsp" flush="true">
<tiles:putAttribute name="head" type="string">
<%
String tmp = "JSP Test";
%>
</tiles:putAttribute>
<tiles:putAttribute name="content" type="string">
<p><%= tmp %></p>
</tiles:putAttribute>
</tiles:insertTemplate>
This won't compile because the Tile attribute 'content' doesn't have
access to the 'tmp' variable defined in another Tiles attribute.
Looking at the generated Java code, the output of each Tile
attribute is within a do { } construct. Is there a way to make all
Java variables accessible within the JSP page as I had before using
Tiles?
