SpringMVC+thymeleaf+Tiles config about thymeleaf-extras-tiles2

[danielfernandez]

Your Spring configuration looks alright, at first sight. The TilesConfigurer bean is independent, there is no relation between it and the other beans and that is normal (it mimics the behaviour of Spring's own TilesConfigurer).

Are you receiving any errors? If so, how do they look like?

Yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to write the error:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Could not resolve view with name 'welcometiles' in servlet with name 'springDispatcher'

it seems like tile's configuration it is not ok, but I think it is! I'll let you know when the solution is made...

Tiles:

<definition name="baselayout" template="/WEB-INF/templates/baselayout.html">
    <put-attribute name="title" value="Template" type="string" />
    <put-attribute name="header" value="header.html" />
    <put-attribute name="menu" value="menu.html" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="body.html" />
    <put-attribute name="footer" value="footer.html" />
</definition>

<definition name="welcometiles" extends="baselayout">
    <put-attribute name="title" value="Welcome" type="string" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="welcome.html" />
</definition>

Hi again,

Now I can see your definitions, I can see the errors in your configuration.

Your view resolver (Thymeleaf's) can specify the view names it can resolve by means of the viewNames attribute. In your configuration, it reads like this:

<property name="viewNames" value="*.html, *.xhtml, *.xml" />

Which means that the ThymeleafViewResolver will only consider it can handle a view if its name ends with *.html, *.xhtml, etc.

But your view is called welcometiles. It doesn't end with any of those suffixes.

The fact is that the viewNames property in view resolvers is only useful when your application has more than one of these (for example, if you are using Thymeleaf for some pages and JSP for some other pages), so that each view resolver can know whether the requested views should be resolved by it or not. So if you don't have more than one view resolver... I would simply remove that property.

But there are some additional problems in your Tiles configuration: you are specifying a template like /WEB-INF/templates/baselayout.html, but your Thymeleaf template resolver is already configured to add the /WEB-INF/templates/ prefix and the .html suffix to any template name it is requested, so asking for this template would result in actually looking for /WEB-INF/templates//WEB-INF/templates/baselayout.html.html.

You should simply specify your template as baselayout. And the same goes for header, menu, body, etc.

Regards,
Daniel.
