copied!<p>Ok, so I'm not sure that this will work for for earlier versions of Tiles and Spring (currently using Spring 3.1 and Tiles 2.2.2), but here it goes anyway. </p> <p>I realized that for some reason, when you do an import using the core tag library within a tiles template, and let's say that import in turn calls a Spring MVC controller, it will cause an infinite loop. The way that I got around this was by doing the following:</p> <ul> <li><p>Add an attribute in the tiles definition of the layout that will reference a jsp containing the code to do the import. Let's say for example:</p> <p><code><definition name="cti.layouts.fooBarLayout" template="/WEB-INF/views/layouts/foo-bar-layout.jsp"> <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/views/some-body.jsp"/> <put-attribute name="foo" value="/WEB-INF/views/my-import.jsp"/> </definition></code></p></li> </ul> <p>In this example, you want to add the import code inside of my-import.jsp. You can use the core JSTL tag <code><c:import></code></p> <ul> <li><p>Inside of foo-bar-layout.jsp, add in a tiles:insertAttribute tag wherever you want this imported page to go. Reference the name of the attribute (in this case 'foo'):</p> <p><code><tiles:insertAttribute name="foo"/></code></p></li> </ul> <p>Now you can extend from this layout without worry about an infinite loop. Not sure why this is working as I don't understand what the underlying implementation is doing, but for some reason, tiles does not allow a dynamic import to be used inside of a template page.</p> <p>Hope this helped.</p>
