Problem using JSF and Tiles

[Abiodun Adisa]

In my tiles File I have

<h:graphicImage url="{0}">
<tiles:getAsString name="imageURL"/>
</h:graphicImage>

I am hoping to pass a image url parameter to my tiles file and have the graphicImage display the image, but its not really displaying the image, only outputting the url string, please how do i resolve this

My best suggestions is to get rid of Tiles and go with xhtml templating instead.

But Why not just have

<h:graphicImage url="${imageURL}"/>

In your tiles:insert add a <tiles:put name=imageURL value="someValueHere"/>

According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute url does not accept any expressions

I went by your suggestion and i got the following error

"According to TLD or attribute directive in tag file, attribute url does not accept any expressions"

Thus is the code used

<h:graphicImage url="${imageURL}">
</h:graphicImage>
 
<tiles:insertDefinition name="art2">
<tiles:putAttribute name="imageURL" value="../images/HeadOfHausa.gif">
</tiles:putAttribute>
</tiles:insertDefinition>

by any chances are you also working with jstl?

With jstl you could have their core package and use <c:url> to generate the Url and use expressions
