The Dynamic Tiles 2 Spring MVC Module, version 1.2, dynamically renders a Tiles 2 template with Spring MVC. Any request coming in mapped for Tiles processing will use the default template and dynamically insert the body based on the URL.
Besides basic support for rendering dynamically rendering Tiles templates, there is also support for rendering Tiles fragments
like AjaxTilesView and FlowAjaxTilesView in Spring JS and Spring Web Flow
The tilesConfigurer bean initializes tiles with all the tiles configuration files (more than one can be specified).
The tilesViewResolver bean defines using DynamicTilesView which uses the url to lookup the Tiles definition,
dynamically insert the body into the definition, and render it.

For the AJAX requests to work correctly an AjaxUrlBasedViewResolver must be configured and FlowAjaxDynamicTilesView
as the view class.
<bean id="tilesViewResolver"
class="org.springframework.js.ajax.AjaxUrlBasedViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springbyexample.web.servlet.view.tiles2.FlowAjaxDynamicTilesView" />
