public class TilesConfigurer
extends WebApplicationObjectSupport

Helper class to configure Tiles for the Spring Framework (see http://jakarta.apache.org/struts for more information about Tiles, which basically is a templating mechanism for JSP-based web applications).

The TilesConfigurer simply configures tiles using a set of files containing definitions. The rest is done by an appropriate Resolver which could for instance be the org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver InternalResourceViewResolver or the org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ResourceBundleViewResolver ResourceBundleViewResolver. Usage of the TilesConfigurer is done as follows: 

<bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles.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.
