I have been trying to find a good example of using Tiles as well. When I try and include the tag library:

<%@ taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"%>

I get an error saying it cannot be found. I am using the Eclipse IDE. Perhaps there is something that I am missing?

Nevermind I figured it out. I forgot to include the appropriate .jar file.

Good job on getting this to work, there's not a lot of good examples on making Tiles2 working with Spring2.5+.

Thanks Johnny. Im also trying to get the menus working with spring mvc.
Im trying to use menu-config to configure menus. Earlier I did it in struts long back, if you have any example please share with me.

I will complete it and show the complete example of Menus with Spring MVC here soon.

Hi,

Has anyone tried with velocity?

I have a requirement to implement the composite view pattern with velocity templates. From where I have reached so far it appears I will have to extend a few classes from tiles-core, and may be spring framework too. But in case it is possible to get things working without that Please do let me know the solution.

I take it the URL that you are pointing to display the page in the example you give here would be "SampleValidation"?

I'm trying to wrap my mind around what is going on here. I've used Tiles before but I've used the Struts framework with it and not Spring (yet.)

Peter, fyi, this thread seems to be a couple months old, and it might not get a reply from the OP. It might be better to just ask your question in a new thread.

Good Luck

Mark
