Spring 3.2.1 along with Tiles 3.0.1 doesn't work?

spring, tiles

Solution

I made it working with tiles 3 ..

Following are the jars required :

- tiles-api 3.0.1 jar

- tiles-core 3.0.1 jar

- tiles-jsp 3.0.1 jar

- tiles-request-api 1.0.1 jar

- commons-digester 2.0 jar

- commons-beanutils 1.8.0 jar

and add the follwing bean into your dispatcher class:

<bean id="tilesviewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesViewResolver"/>
<bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesConfigurer">
  <property name="definitions">
   <list>
    <value>/WEB-INF/views/**/tiles.xml</value>
      <value>/WEB-INF/layouts/tiles.xml</value>
   </list>
  </property>
 </bean>
    </beans>

it works for me , I am able to read the tiles definition and showing the view ..try this

Problem

I am using a Tiles 3.0.1 along with Spring 3.2.1 , but it doesn't work, works fine with tiles 2.2.2. I found it as a common problem ,want to know if there is any to make it working.
