I have an index.jsp page. In the page, I simply want to call a definition and pass it a request param named "pageName". However, when the user first hits the webpage, there will be no request params.

For example, index.jsp?pageName=test, is the ideal way of calling the page, but many times it will just be "index.jsp".

I can't figure out a way to send a default request param to the definition so that the action form will have this value and therefore, the action can do the necessary processing.

Does this make sense? In effect, I wish there was some way to do this:

{tiles:insert definition="content.display?pageName=test"/}

but it tries to find the definition named "content.display?pageName=test" instead of just "content.display".

I know I could create a new action such as "/content/display.do" and call it as "/content/display.do?pageName=test", but I'm just trying to understand how to pass default values to a definition.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Dustin
