.apache.org">http://tiles.apache.org for more information about Tiles, which basically is a templating mechanism for JSP-based web applications.
The TilesConfigurer simply configures a TilesContainer using a set of files containing definitions, to be accessed by {@link TilesView}instances.
TilesViews can be managed by any {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver}. For simple convention-based view resolution, consider using {@link org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver} with the"viewClass" property set to "org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesView".
A typical TilesConfigurer bean definition looks as follows:
<bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesConfigurer"> <property name="definitions"> <list> <value>/WEB-INF/defs/general.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/defs/widgets.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/defs/administrator.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/defs/customer.xml</value> <value>/WEB-INF/defs/templates.xml</value> </list> </property> </bean>
The values in the list are the actual files containing the definitions.
