Pass object with include

[jhcao23]

[Enhancement]
The layout:include feature is pretty like JSF facelet way!
In real JSF, we can pass String or objects or even collection to the facelet,
can this layout:include pass object(s) to the included fragment e.g. modal div?

[ultraq]

Yes, in a way. layout:include doesn't do any object passing itself, but once it includes the fragment/template you chose, any objects defined using Thymeleaf's th:with or th:object attributes (or even the iteration variables created in a th:each loop) will be visible to that fragment when it gets processed.

Using a shortened example from the readme:

<div layout:include="Modal2.html :: modal" th:with="modalId='message'>
</div>

The modalId object is a string that will be visible to the Modal2.html :: modal fragment. That object can be anything, including collections.

It is a wonderful feature which make the template perfect - so we can get rid of tiles or facelet any more!
Is that possible to add this plugin into next official release of thymeleaf?

[ultraq]

I'm glad you've found my Thymeleaf dialect useful :) It won't be part of an official release though as it doesn't feel like 'core' functionality - just like how SiteMesh wasn't a core part of JSP, and how Facelets isn't a core part of JSF, but people would use SiteMesh/Facelets anyway because they give you very powerful templating options.

I can't process recursively my fragments.

I've only one level processed.

Any help?

Here is my Java bean :
class Tag {
private String code;
private List children;
// getter
// setter
}

I have 2 templates :
/templates/main.html

/templates/recursive.html

My result :

• TAG11
• TAG12

Expected :

• TAG11
• TAG12
• TAG121
• TAG122

I'm using latest versions of Thymeleaf + layout

Hey @jgrtalk, that looks like a general Thymeleaf question, unreleated to this GitHub issue. Could you instead post your question to our forums, http://forum.thymeleaf.org/General-Usage-f2234430.html, where we can better answer it.
