Hi again Antonio, Sorry it's taken so long to respond, this is a pet project and I seem to be short on time lately. I've configured the servlet with the paramerts specified here
http://tiles.apache.org/2.1/framework/tutorial/advanced/el-support.html Note that the class name has a typo, the example displays <param-value>org.apache.tiles.evaluator.el.ELAttributeEvaluatr</param-value> But it should be <param-value>org.apache.tiles.evaluator.el.ELAttributeEvaluator</param-value> I have the following config in my spring configuration. I know the evaluator is getting set into the servlet, I stepped through the spring code. <!-- Tiles setup --> <bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesConfigurer"> <property name="definitions"> <list> <value>/WEB-INF/views/layouts/default.xml</value> </list> </property> <property name="tilesProperties"> <props> <prop key="org.apache.tiles.evaluator.AttributeEvaluator">org.apache.tiles.evaluator.el.ELAttributeEvaluator</prop> </props> </property> </bean> <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver" p:viewClass="com.onwebconsulting.inventory.web.spring.AutoTilesView" /> I then have this in my default.xml <tiles-definitions> <definition name="*/*" template="/WEB-INF/views/layouts/default.jsp"> <put-attribute name="title" value="${pageTitle}"/> <put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/views/tiles/header.jsp" /> <put-attribute name="menu" value="/WEB-INF/views/tiles/menu.jsp" /> <!--<put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/views/parts/list.jsp" />--> <put-attribute name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/views/tiles/footer.jsp" /> </definition> </tiles-definitions> And this in my "body" page, which is dynamically added via the AutoTilesView class <c:set var="submit" value="Update Part"/> <c:set var="pageTitle" value="Update Part Title"/> <tiles:put name="pageTitle" type="string" value="Update Part" /> <h2>New Part</h2> <%@ include file="/WEB-INF/views/parts/form.jsp" %> However, when my html is rendered, I have the variable ${pageTitle} in my browser, not "Update Part Title" which i've set in my body content. What am I doing wrong?
