This idea seems really promising, but I have been unable to implement it. Here
is what I have tried:
resource_en.properties
record.detail.title=Record Detail:{0}
tiles.xml
<definition name="foo" extends=".template"> <put
name="titleKey" value="record.detail.title"
type="string"/> <put
name="titleKeyParam1" value="recordId"
type="string"/></definition>
jsp template page
<c:set var="titleNameKey"><tiles:getAsString name="titleKey"/></c:set><c:set
var="titleNameKeyParam1"><tiles:getAsString
name="titleKeyParameter1"/></c:set><fmt:message key="${titleNameKey}">
<fmt:param><c:out value="${titleNameKeyParam1}"/></fmt:param></fmt:message>
My controller passes to the jsp view a parameter called "recordId". I know
that is working because I can use the value elsewhere.
The problem is that my title displays as: "Record Detail: recordId" instead of
showing me the value of ${recordId}
(I expected something like "Record Detail: 12345")
I've tried a few variations on this without success :-( How can I get the
title to show the value of the expression i set in my tiles definition?
