name	Specifies the name of the parameter being passed to the tag's parent. (Optional)
value	Specifies the value of the parameter being passed to the tag's parent. (Optional)

role	Represents the required role for evaluating this <tiles:put /> tag. If the requesting user is not in the named role, this tag is ignored. (Optional)

The <tiles:put /> tag must be a sub-element of either a <tiles:insert /> or a <tiles:definition /> tag.
