Class InsertDefinitionDirective

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable, org.apache.velocity.runtime.directive.DirectiveConstants

    public class InsertDefinitionDirective
    extends org.apache.velocity.runtime.directive.Directive

    Insert a definition.

    Insert a definition with the possibility to override and specify parameters (called attributes). A definition can be seen as a (partially or totally) filled template that can override or complete attribute values. <tiles:insertDefinition> allows to define these attributes and pass them to the inserted jsp page, called template. Attributes are defined using nested tag <tiles:putAttribute> or <tiles:putListAttribute>.

    You must specify name tag attribute, for inserting a definition from definitions factory.

    Example :

     <code>
               <tiles:insertDefinition name=".my.tiles.defininition flush="true">
                  <tiles:putAttribute name="title" value="My first page" />
                  <tiles:putAttribute name="header" value="/common/header.jsp" />
                  <tiles:putAttribute name="footer" value="/common/footer.jsp" />
                  <tiles:putAttribute name="menu" value="/basic/menu.jsp" />
                  <tiles:putAttribute name="body" value="/basic/helloBody.jsp" />
               </tiles:insertDefinition>
             </code>
