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>
