Spring 5 Design Patterns

Configuring a Tiles ViewResolver

Let's configure Apache Tiles in the Spring MVC application. In order to configure it, we have to configure two beans in the Spring configuration file as follows:

    package com.packt.patterninspring.chapter10.bankapp.web.mvc; 
    ..... 
    @Configuration 
    @ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.packt.patterninspring.chapter10.bankapp.web.controller"})       
    @EnableWebMvc 
    public class SpringMvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter{ 
    ..... 
    @Bean 
    public TilesConfigurer tilesConfigurer() { 
         TilesConfigurer tiles = new TilesConfigurer(); 
         tiles.setDefinitions(new String[] { 
               "/WEB-INF/layout/tiles.xml" 
         }); 
         tiles.setCheckRefresh(true); 
         return tiles; 
    } 
    
    @Bean 
    public ViewResolver viewResolver() { 
         return new TilesViewResolver(); 
    } 
     ... 
   }
