2. Define the tiles-definition.xml, that will define the layout of the tiles and different web pages that uses the tiles.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 2.0//EN"
"http://tiles.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_2_0.dtd">
<tiles-definitions>
<!--
Defining the base Layout for the Application. The layout contains header, footer, menu, content, side bar and status tray sections.
--> <definition name="baseLayout"
template="/WEB-INF/jsp/Template.jsp">
<put-attribute name="title" value="Template" />
<put-attribute name="statusTray"
value="/WEB-INF/jsp/StatusTray.jsp">
</put-attribute>
<put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/Header.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="menu" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/Menu.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="content" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/Content.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="sidebar" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/Sidebar.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/Footer.jsp" />
</definition>
<!--
This tile definition extends the base layout and just provides a title message to the layout
--><definition name="HomePage" extends="baseLayout">
<put-attribute name="title" value="Leasing Office Home Page" />
</definition>
<!--
This tile definition extends the base layout and provides a title and a different content for the content area
-->
<definition name="ViewAllApartments" extends="baseLayout"><put-attribute name="title" value="Leasing Office Apartments"/>
<put-attribute name="content" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/ViewAllApartments.jsp"/>
</definition>
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
3. Define the SPRING Configuration to use the tiles view for resolving the views.
<!-- View Resolvers -->
<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass"
value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesView" />
</bean>
<!-- Tiles Configuration -->
<bean id="tilesConfigurer"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesConfigurer">
<property name="definitions" value="/WEB-INF/tiles/tiles-definitions.xml" />
</bean>
