Description

Tiles definition working with Struts2 release 2.3.24 stopped working in 2.3.28+.

Example:

<definition name="layouts.enroll.resp" template="/WEB-INF/tiles/EnrollmentLayout_resp.jsp" >		
	<put-attribute name="app" value="Banking" />		
	<put-attribute name="title" value="ATTN: Missing Page Title!" />
	<put-attribute name="content" />	
</definition>

<definition name="enrollment.resp.choose" extends="layouts.enroll.resp">
	<put-attribute name="content" value="/ChooseService_Captcha.jsp" />
	<put-attribute name="title"	value="Sign Up for Online Access" cascade="true"/>		
</definition>

Value of attribute "title" defined in "enrollment.resp.choose" definition is not available in any scope.
