Spring MVC - Layout solution
I'd like to create layout solution in combination with Spring MVC, Web Flow, Security, Data, etc...
What I've found:
1. VelocityLayoutViewResolver - possible but I don't like it because in JSP is taglib "spring:" I like so much
2. Apache Tiles 2 - possible, but I've not really found any usable example how to combine it with JSP
What I think it should do:
1. Define default layout in bean config
2. Override layout in @Controller or @RequestMapping
3. Simple use
I'd like to have template like this:
layout.jsp
HTML Code:
<!-- Should be placed in place for example like WEB-INF/views/layout.jsp -->
<html>
<head>
<title> <c:out value="${page_title}"> </title>
</head>
<body>
<div header />
<div content-wrapper>
<%@include file="${view_name}"%>
</div content-wrapper>
<div footer />
</body>
</html>
@Controller
Code:
@Controller
public class PersonController {
@RequestMapping("/")
public String index(Map<String, Object> map) {
// this will mark included view path, can be configurable through prefix/suffix in bean declaration
// layout will be for example in path: WEB-INF/views/person/index.jsp
return "person/index.jsp";
}
}
What solution do you think I should use?
Thanks
