Trying to us JS files as templates/attributes in JSP files but not processing properly

Wed, 06 Nov 2013 08:56:54 -0800 

I don't know if this is not permissible, but I thought I could embed any kind 
of file as an attribute in a template.

For example, I have the following definitions:

        <definition name="REGEXP:([^.]+)" 
template="/WEB-INF/views/tiles/layouts/ace/default.jsp" preparer="testPreparer">
            <put-attribute name="meta" 
value="/WEB-INF/views/tiles/{options[defaultPaths]}/meta.jsp"/>
            <put-attribute name="head" 
value="/WEB-INF/views/tiles/{options[defaultPaths]}/head.jsp"/>
            <put-attribute name="header" 
value="/WEB-INF/views/tiles/{options[defaultPaths]}/header.jsp"/>
            <put-attribute name="menu" 
value="/WEB-INF/views/tiles/{options[defaultPaths]}/menu.jsp"/>
            <put-attribute name="body" 
value="/WEB-INF/views/tiles/{options[defaultPaths]}/body.jsp"/>
        
            <put-attribute name="onReady" 
value=".page.onReady//{options[defaultPaths]}" />
        
                <put-list-attribute name="defaultPaths" cascade="true" >
                        <add-attribute value="{1}"/>
                        <add-attribute value="default"/>
                </put-list-attribute>
        </definition>


        <definition name="REGEXP:^\.page\.onReady//(.+)" 
template="/WEB-INF/views/tiles/layouts/ace/onReady.jsp">
                <put-attribute name="onReady" 
value="/WEB-INF/views/tiles/{1}/onReady.js" />
        </definition>


I have the following files in my paths:

/WEB-INF/views/tiles/layouts/ace/default.jsp
/WEB-INF/views/tiles/layouts/ace/onReady.jsp

/WEB-INF/vies/tiles/default/head.jsp
/WEB-INF/vies/tiles/default/menu.jsp

/WEB-INF/vies/tiles/secure/login/meta.jsp
/WEB-INF/vies/tiles/secure/login/header.jsp
/WEB-INF/vies/tiles/secure/login/body.jsp
/WEB-INF/vies/tiles/secure/login/onReady.js


When I navigate to template: secure/login I am expecting the following:

WEB-INF/views/tiles/layouts/ace/default.jsp
 -> /WEB-INF/vies/tiles/secure/login/meta.jsp
 -> /WEB-INF/vies/tiles/default/head.jsp
 -> /WEB-INF/vies/tiles/secure/login/header.jsp
 -> /WEB-INF/vies/tiles/default/menu.jsp
 -> /WEB-INF/vies/tiles/secure/login/body.jsp
 -> /WEB-INF/views/tiles/layouts/ace/onReady.jsp
     -> /WEB-INF/views/tiles/secure/login/onReady.js
However, the onReady.jsp included as an attribute in the default.jsp file is not properly rendered. If I change the name of onReady.js to onReady.js.jsp, everthing works properly. If I leave the template attribute as onReady.js, then instead of getting my js files included (as I expect), I get the entire default.jsp file embdeded as though it was the "onReady" attribute.
I think I have probably done a poor job of explaining this, so if something is unclear, please let me know. Is there no way to include a files contents as is? 

Thanks,

Eric
