Spring 3.2.4 + Tiles 3 = infinite loop when resolving view? - spring

I'm trying to use Spring MVC 3.2.4 & Tiles 3.0.1 with Regexp prefixes in my tiles.xml file. I'm a newbie with Tiles, so I might be doing something wrong, but have been trying to follow things I have read on in the Tiles doc site as well as apply stuff from the tech.finn.no blog.
Unfortunately, when I use completeAutoLoad=true with RegExp prefix in my tiles.xml file, I get stuck in an infinite loop when trying to resolve the view.

I don't think there is anything specifically special in this configuration, so am not sure why I get into an infinite loop. If I replace the CompleteAutoTilesInitializer class with the BasicTilesInitializerClass and use Wildcards (ie: /) instead and replace {1} with {1}/{2}, then the view loads properly (no infinite loop).
Any ideas what I am doing wrong, or is this a Tiles problem?

Found a similar SO issue (https://stackoverflow.com/a/6617343/827480) that pointed out that the regexp is too greedy and tries to match all attributes as well forever, hence causing the StackOverflow. Work around at the moment is to use a less greedy regexp.

Getting some traction under https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TILES-572 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.tiles.user/612

With Tiles, is there a way to reduce my two JSPs into one JSP?

I'm using Tiles for the first time. Trying to layout my JSP pages in my Spring MVC project.
Please take a look at what I'm doing and let me know if this is the "correct" way to do it ... my specific question is at the bottom ...
I have the file structured like this ... folder /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/layouts/ contains ...
standard.jsp
// ...
<html>
<title><tiles:insertAttribute name="title"/></title>
// ... LOTS OF HTML ...
<tiles:insertAttribute name="header"/>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="body"/>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="footer"/>
// ... LOTS OF HTML
</html>
// ...
tiles.xml
<tiles-definitions>
<definition name="standardLayout" template="/WEB-INF/layouts/standard.jsp">
<put-attribute name="title" value="My Directory" />
<put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/layouts/header.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="body" value="" />
<put-attribute name="footer" value="" />
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
And my viewable JSPs are in folder /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/views/ which contains ...
tiles.xml
<tiles-definitions>
<definition name="home" extends="standardLayout">
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
home.jsp
<%# taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"%>
<tiles:insertDefinition name="home">
<tiles:putAttribute name = "body" value="/WEB-INF/views/home-body.jsp"/>
</tiles:insertDefinition>
home-body.jsp
<div>
// LOTS OF HTML FOR THE BODY OF THE HOME PAGE
</div>
QUESTIONS: I'd like to just have one home.jsp but it looks like I have to pull the body content (and any other content) from a separate file. Is there an appropriate way to simplify home.jsp and home-body.jsp into one file, or am I actually doing this all correctly?
You need to update your tiles.xml, standard.jsp and home.jsp as below,
tiles.xml
<tiles-definitions>
<definition name="home" extends="standardLayout">
<put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/views/home.jsp"></put-attribute>
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
standard.jsp
<html>
<title><tiles:insertAttribute name="title"/></title>
<header>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="header"/>
</header>
<body>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="body"/>
</body>
<footer>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="footer"/>
</footer>
</html>
home.jsp
<!-- Actual body content goes here.. -->
<%# taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"%>
<p>The content of the home page.</p>

spring MVC MAVEN: Static resource With 404

I have searched for this but didn't get the solution for the same. I got information i.e. we have to use <mvc:resources location="/resources/" mapping="/resources/**"/> and place all the static member like css/img/js inside resources folder
src
|--main
| |
| |--java
| |--resources
| |--webapp
And then we have to use either jstl or spring tags to map the resources as below:
<head>
<%# taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags"%>
<spring:url value="/resources/LoginForm.css" var="loginCss" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="${loginCss}" type="text/css" />
</head>
I have developed some code by keeping all the points in mind but getting 404 error for static resources.

When it redirects me to loginform.jsp and i do F12-->network analysis, it shows me 404 for static resources like ,img1,img2,img3,logo1 and for .css file.
Click Here for F12 debug and chrome view of page without css
[[Solved]]: Finally solved the problem but i'm not sure the approach i have used here is correct or not but yeah it's working for me. Solution: i have copied the resources folder under webapp folder (i.e. WEB_INF & resources are siblings).
Click here for updated directory structure image
Please do provide better solution of this if you have for the same:
Resources inside WEB-INF are protected to be not accessible directly from the client.
In general, if it is static resources such as html, CSS, JavaScript can be placed outside WEB-INF. Static content placed outside can be therefore downloaded directly from the client browser.
Pls read Referencing a resource placed in WEB-INF folder in JSP file returns HTTP 404 on resource

Apache Tiles definition

I'm using Apache Tile in Spring Web App,
I have to include some dependencies under certain conditions,
So I want to know if in file "tiles.xml" we can set some conditions as below ?
<definition name=".tpl1" extends=".MainTpl"
template="/WEB-INF/views/templates/tpl1.jsp">
<put-attribute name="header" value="XX" />
<put-attribute name="dashboard" value="XX" />
<if [Some condition] >
<put attribute name="isOk" value="XX />
/>
<else>
<put-attribute name="isNok" value="YY" />
/>
</definition>
I'm really not sure about this part but I want to know if it's possible or not :)
Kind regards :)
There is no condition in Apache Tiles. Instead you can compose your definition like this :
<definition name=".tpl1" extends=".MainTpl"
template="/WEB-INF/views/templates/tpl1.jsp">
<put-attribute name="header" value="XX" />
<put-attribute name="dashboard" value="XX" />
<put-attribute name="condition" value="condition.jsp" />
<put-attribute name="isOk" value="XX" />
<put-attribute name="isNOk" value="XX" />
</definition>
And in condition.jsp have something like this
<%# page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<%# taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"%>
<c:choose>
<c:when test="[some condition]">
<tiles:insertAttribute name="isOk">
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="isNOk">
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
Your question is very similar to this, you can refer to the answer there.

Spring Tiles Framework : refresh only body content

I have a Tiles layout page having Header, Menu, Body. In this layout whenever user does some action in the Menu lists, the whole Layout is refreshing. I want header,menu to be static, and only body part should get refresh.
Is there any way to prevent the refresh of the Header, menu and update only Body content on the menu click which can be implemented using Spring Tiles?
I got some same question but its related to structs. i don't have idea about structs
If anybody give piece of code it will be helpful.
(1)write this tiles configuration into spring xml file.

Struts2 ajax theme problem in IE9

We have an running application that is developed in struts-2.0.14. In this we used Ajax theme for displaying contents.
This ajax theme is running properly in all browsers except IE9 browsers, In IE9 this ajax theme making problem . The result is showing in new tab instead of showing in target element(div) specified by targets property.
Parent Page
<%#page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<s:head theme="ajax" debug="false" />
</head>
<body>
<s:url id="changePwd" action="changePassword" />
<s:div theme="ajax" id="pwdDiv" executeScripts="true" href="%{changePwd}" loadingText="Loading..."/>
</body>
</html>
Inner page
<%#page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>
<%# taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core_rt" %>
<s:form action="changePassword" id="resetPassword" name="resetPassword">
<s:textfield name="username" id="username" />
<s:password showPassword="true" name="newpassword" id="newpassword" value="%{newpassword}"/>
<s:password showPassword="true" name="confirmpassword" id="confirmpassword" value="%{confirmpassword}"/>
<s:submit value="Confirm" showLoadingText="false" onclick="clearMsg();" theme="ajax" targets="pwdDiv" executeScripts="true" cssClass="userbutton" />
</s:form>
When Submitting the form in Inner Page the resulting page is popup into new tab. actually it should replace the content of pwdDiv.
Note: the same working properly in other browsers including (IE7,8)
Update:
making showLoadingText as true making the request as Ajax but the values are passed as null (password,confirm password ect,. -all fields)
Adding type="button" in s:submit button solve the problem. Don't know what is behind this !
<s:submit **type="button"** value="Confirm" showLoadingText="false" onclick="clearMsg();" theme="ajax" targets="pwdDiv" executeScripts="true" cssClass="userbutton" />
