Apache Tiles moved into the Attic in December 2018. So Apache Tiles has retired.
I'm using Spring MVC framework and JSP.
What alternatives are there? I saw Sitemesh, but it is a decorator and I need a template framework.
I want to maintain my tiles and use other framework. It is a big application, so I can't rewrite all my tiles at the same time
Could anybody help me please?
Apache Tiles™ Tiles allows authors to define page fragments which can be assembled into a complete page at runtime. These fragments, or tiles, can be used as simple includes in order to reduce the duplication of common page elements or embedded within other tiles to develop a series of reusable templates.
Tiles is used to create reusable presentation components. With Tiles, we first define a base layout with different sections after that we define which jsp page should fill in the corresponding regions in an exteranl configuration file. The same layout can be reused any number of times by specifying different jsp pages.
A free open-sourced templating framework for modern Java applications. Based upon the Composite pattern it is built to simplify the development of user interfaces. For complex web sites it remains.
With Tiles is in the Apache Attic it does not mean you need to stop using it.
Unless you were depending on it to continue to provide you with new features and improvements.
