I've personally never had a situation like this where I extend a tile
and redefine the path at the same time. I've always extended a tile
definition and overridden only the attributes. But I can see merit
to the approach. If the framework does not currently support it, it
probably should.
<definition name="page.index" path="/layout/classic_layout.jsp">
<put name="top" value="/tiles/top.jsp"/>
<put name="left" value="/tiles/fourth.jsp"/>
<put name="body" value="/tiles/login.jsp" />
</definition>
The second file contains:
<definition name="page.index.bug" path="/layout/
three_rows_layout.jsp" />
<definition name="page.index" extends="page.index.bug">
<put name="top" value="/tiles/top_pda.jsp"/>
<put name="left" value="/tiles/fourth.jsp"/>
<put name="body" value="/tiles/login.jsp" />
</definition>
To make sure I have this straight: You have "page.index" defined
twice in 2 different files? Why not do something like this?
First file:
<definition name="page.index" path="/layout/classic_layout.jsp">
<put name="top" value="/tiles/top.jsp"/>
<put name="left" value="/tiles/fourth.jsp"/>
<put name="body" value="/tiles/login.jsp" />
</definition>
2nd file:
<definition name="page.index.bug" path="/layout/
three_rows_layout.jsp" extends="page.index" />
Is it a requirement that you always reference "page.index" but get
different definitions in different contexts or can you reference
"page.index.bug" when you want the 3 row layout?
When I use XmlDefinitionSet.extend method, the "page.index"
definition has both the "extends" (in fact "inherit") and "path"
attributes! After doing "resolveInheritances" it does not solve the
problem.
I think the (possible) bug is in XmlDefinition.overload, where the
attributes are simply copied and not checked.
That's definitely a possibility. Can you verify it?
Thanks,
Greg
