How to share variables in Struts tiles?

[Jeppe Sommer]

In a jsp class called Init.jsp I define some variables that has to be used by all the jsp pages. An example is:

java.util.Locale ressources = ( java.util.Locale ) init.get("ressources");

At the moment I got an error because the other jsp pages don�t know the variables defined in the init.

cannot resolve symbol ressources

How can I solve the problem?

<%@ taglib uri="WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
 
<tiles:insert page="test.jsp" flush="true">
<tiles  :-P	  ut name="init" value="includes/Init.jsp" />
<tiles  :-P	  ut name="title" value="Page Title" />
<tiles  :-P	  ut name="top_panel" value="template/toppanel.jsp" />
<tiles  :-P	  ut name="top_menu" value="includes/menu_toppanel.jsp" />
<tiles  :-P	  ut name="body" value="template/body.jsp" />
</tiles:insert>

Set the variables to a scope (request, session, application).

Will you give an example, please?

Her is some piece of my Init.jsp file:

<% 
    dbConn.DBConn db = null;
    java.sql.Connection conn = null;
    java.sql.PreparedStatement stat = null;
    java.sql.ResultSet rs = null;
    StringBuffer str = null;

    js.util.Date obj_date = new js.util.Date();
 
    String acceptLanguageString = request.getHeader("Accept-Language");
    ...
%>

Is that a good way to initialize the parameters, which all the other jsp pages (tiles) are going to use?
