tiles/velocitylayoutview and header titles

**standev** · Jun 19th, 2005, 06:10 AM

For several times I've run into the Tiles or VelocityLayoutView references and I thought to myself - that's cool, I want to try it out.

The only stopper for me is that I don't know how to elegantly specify the header title in the page.

Example:

Code:

<!-- Layout in layout.vm -->
<html>
<head><title>$&#123;title&#125;</title></head>
<body>$&#123;content&#125;</body
</html>

<!-- Page Content Template in index.vm -->
<p>Hello there!</p>

Now I don't see how I can specify $title variable, so that it would be rendered properly in layout.vm.
I'd like to specify it right in index.vm, not in the Controller/Model, not in the Spring's -servlet.xml too

If I just do this in index.vm:

Code:

#set&#40;$title = "Title1"&#41;
<p>Hello there</p>

It still won't work right, because layout has been rendered before the #set directive executed.

Any advice/hints would be greatly appreciated.

I'm battleing the same problem.

Did you ever figure anything out? I'm thinking of possibly overloading the VelocityLayoutView class to handle the parameters I need but that is going to be messy
