Tiles 3.0.5 is not working with spring 4.1.7

I configured my Spring based application (4.1.7) to use Tiles 3.0.5 but it is not working. It does not show header, footer in baseLayout. It just shows index.jsp page

Solution

The reason you are not seeing header and footer is because you are using

<jsp:include page="footer.jsp" />

Instead you should use

<tiles:insertAttribute name="footer" />

Please follow the guide below if the above does not fix your issue immediately

Remove

    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
            <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/"/>
            <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
        </bean>

Change this

  <!-- For tiles -->
  <bean id="tilesViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
      <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesView" />
      <property name="order" value="-2" />
  </bean>
  <bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesConfigurer">
      <property name="definitions">
          <list>
              <value>/WEB-INF/tiles/definitions/tile-definition.xml</value>
          </list>
      </property>
  </bean>

With This

<bean id="tilesViewResolver"
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesViewResolver">
    </bean>
    <bean id="tilesConfigurer"
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesConfigurer">
        <property name="definitions">
            <list>
                <value>/WEB-INF/tiles/definitions/tile-definition.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>


    </bean>

Change baseLayout.jsp with the folling

<title>
   <tiles:insertAttribute name="title"></tiles:insertAttribute>
</title>

<body>
        <header class="header">
            <tiles:insertAttribute name="header" />
        </header>
        <div class="content">
            <tiles:insertAttribute name="content" />
        </div>
        <footer class="footer">
            <tiles:insertAttribute name="footer" />
        </footer>
    </body>
