Description

A Tiles definition such as...

<definition name="some.layout"
template="/WEB-INF/view/tiles/layouts/someLayout.jsp">
<put-list-attribute name="list" />
</definition>

will return an Attribute instance when calling...

Attribute fieldListAttribute = attributeContext.getAttribute("list");

whereas a tiles definition with such as...

<definition name="some.layout" template="/WEB-INF/view/tiles/layouts/someLayout.jsp">
<put-list-attribute name="list">
<add-attribute value="some.attribute" />
</put-list-attribute>
</definition>

will return a ListAttribute instance when calling that same method.

These two separate scenarios seem like they should return the same object instance.
