Thanks for the help Antonio. I'm not quite sure how I can get the title.
I'ved used the Spring framework to inject my body jsp path based on the
Action path. I'm using REST style urls, so I have a
<controller>/<action>(/<other args>)* syntax on all my calls. Getting the
body dynamially injected only took the following. However, I don't want my
title's based on interception as that's part of the view. Its not possible
to "bubble" attributes from includes up to their parent?
Thanks,
Todd

private static final String BODY_KEY = "body";
