Tiles 2 without Struts

[roman danilin]

Hi all.

Step 1: Update your web.xml from WAR archive:

        <context-param>
                <description>Tiles configuration file</description>
                <param-name>
                        
org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG
                </param-name>
                <param-value>/WEB-INF/classes/tiles.xml</param-value>
        </context-param>

        <servlet>
                <servlet-name>tiles</servlet-name>
                <servlet-class>
                        org.apache.tiles.web.startup.TilesServlet
                </servlet-class>
                <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
        </servlet>

        <servlet>
                <servlet-name>tiles_dispatch</servlet-name>
                <servlet-class>
                        org.apache.tiles.web.util.TilesDispatchServlet
                </servlet-class>
        </servlet>

        <servlet-mapping>
                <servlet-name>tiles_dispatch</servlet-name>
                <url-pattern>*.tiles</url-pattern>
        </servlet-mapping>

Step 2: Place tiles.xml in WEB-INF/classes directory in your WAR
application, tiles.xml may look as:

<?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>
        <definition name="test" template="index.jsp">
        </definition>           
</tiles-definitions>

Step 3: Place your "index.jsp" in root of WAR archive.

Step 4: Copy Tiles libraries to WEB-INF/lib (tiles-*.jar and common-*.jar)

Step 5: Run your WAR archive in web container (like Tomcat) and navigate url
http://localhost:8080/my_webapp/test.tiles

Step 6: Create your custom tiles definitions :)
