Description
I have this wierd issue with tiles. Probably its a bug.
I am trying to insert a tile (a jsp page) into another tile (a jsp page) and so this is my config (simplified):
tiles.xml
---------
<definition name="rootPage.index" template="layout.jsp">
<put-attribute name="pagetitle" value="Page Body Title" />
<put-attribute name="header" value="header.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="footer" value="footer.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="searchEmployee.index" extends="rootPage.index">
<put-attribute name="body" value="searchEmpBody.index" />
<definition name="searchEmpBody.index"
template="/searchEmployee.jsp"/>
</definition>
<definition name="status.index" template="/status.jsp">
</definition>
layout.jsp
-----------
<body>
<div class="container">
<div id="header">
<tiles:insertAttribute name="header" />
</div>
<div id="mainContent">
<tiles:insertAttribute name="body" />
</div>
</div>
</body>
Now following are the things I try on my searchEmployee.jsp
searchEmployee.jsp - This works
<%@ taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<tiles:insertDefinition name="status.index"/>
searchEmployee.jsp - This also works
<%@ taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<s:form action="listEmployees">
<tiles:getAsString name="pagetitle"/>
</s:form>
searchEmployee.jsp - This does work (only if I use tiles:insertDefinition below s:form)
<%@ taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<s:form action="listEmployees">
</s:form>
<tiles:insertDefinition name="status.index"/>
searchEmployee.jsp - This does NOT work (if I use tiles:insertDefinition above or within s:form things don't work)
<%@ taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<s:form action="listEmployees">
<tiles:insertDefinition name="status.index"/>
</s:form>
I get a long exception stack trace which basically says nullptrexception.
I've done the same thing using tiles1.x and it has always worked.
