I'm trying unsuccessfully to use a Struts2 message resource in a tiles 2.1.4 expression. For example the following resource is available in the JSP...
<s:text name="htmlheadHeading1"/><br/>
... but when I attempt to use the same resource in the tiles definition...
<put-attribute name="title" expression="${htmlheadHeading1}" />
... I get the error...
ELResolver cannot handle a null base Object with identifier 'htmlheadHeading1'
... Is there any way to do this??
This solution does not use tiles expressions but will work if you need to display localized text in JSP when key is passed through tiles definitions.
In tiles definition:
<put-attribute name="title" value="htmlheadHeading1" />
In your JSP then use Struts2 <s:set> tag to set title from tiles definition to local variable and then use it in <s:text> tag.
<s:set var="title">
<tiles:getAsString name="title" ignore="true"/>
</s:set>
<s:text name="%{#title}"/>
