TilesConfigurer class no longer works with Tiles 2.1.1

[spydesk]

Hi !

I had problem with Tiles 2.1.0, thus I upgraded to the version 2.1.1...

Unfortunately, this version is not compatible anymore with the Spring 2.5.6 TilesConfigurer class.

The stack trace I got starting my Web Application is the following :

Yes same problem. I am using MVC 2.5.6 and Apache tiles 2.1.1 (I was using 2.0.6 previously) . I get the a ClassNotFound Exception: ServletTilesContextFactory etc..... When I tried to include this new updated version.
This is because the TlesConfigurer class is using SEVERAL deprecated parameters for the servlet initialization. for example:

public TilesConfigurer() {
this.tilesPropertyMap.put(
TilesContainerFactory.CONTAINER_FACTORY_INIT_PARAM ,//deprecated
TilesContainerFactory.class.getName());
this.tilesPropertyMap.put(
TilesContainerFactory.CONTEXT_FACTORY_INIT_PARAM,//deprecated
ChainedTilesContextFactory.class.getName());
this.tilesPropertyMap.put(
TilesContainerFactory.DEFINITIONS_FACTORY_INIT_PAR AM,
UrlDefinitionsFactory.class.getName());
this.tilesPropertyMap.put(
TilesContainerFactory.PREPARER_FACTORY_INIT_PARAM,
BasicPreparerFactory.class.getName());
this.tilesPropertyMap.put(
ChainedTilesContextFactory.FACTORY_CLASS_NAMES,
ServletTilesContextFactory.class.getName() + "," + JspTilesContextFactory.class.getName());//deprecated. ServletTilesContextFactory and JspTilesContextFactory are not even included in the 2.1 version
this.tilesPropertyMap.put(
UrlDefinitionsFactory.LOCALE_RESOLVER_IMPL_PROPERT Y,
SpringLocaleResolver.class.getName());
}

protected TilesContainer createTilesContainer(ServletContext context) throws TilesException {
ServletContextAdapter adaptedContext = new ServletContextAdapter(new DelegatingServletConfig());//deprecated ServletContextAdapter is not in the 2.1 version
TilesContainerFactory factory = TilesContainerFactory.getFactory(adaptedContext);
return factory.createContainer(adaptedContext);
}

Any Ideas on how to reconfigure the TilesConfigurer for the 2.1 Apache tiles version.

Any help would be appreciated by the community. There is nothing in google explaining this deprecation change!!!

Thankx

Created a JIRA issue : http://jira.springframework.org/browse/SPR-5411

[Slava Kudinov]

Hi,

in case someone needs quick fix for the issue:

<bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="com.epam.samples.tss.tiles2.TilesConfigurer">
		<property name="definitions" value="/WEB-INF/tss-tiles.xml"/>
		<property name="definitionsFactoryClass" value="org.apache.tiles.definition.UrlDefinitionsFactory"/>
		<property name="preparerFactoryClass" value="com.epam.samples.tss.tiles2.SpringBeanPreparerFactory"/>
</bean>

Best Regards
Slava

This is another example of creating the TilesContainer from the TilesConfigurer. It comes directly from the org.apache.tiles.web.startup.TilesListener class.

	
protected TilesContainer createTilesContainer(ServletContext context) throws TilesException {

	TilesApplicationContext applicationContext =
				new ServletTilesApplicationContext(new ServletContextAdapter(new DelegatingServletConfig()));

	AbstractTilesApplicationContextFactory acFactory = AbstractTilesApplicationContextFactory.createFactory(applicationContext);
	if (acFactory instanceof Initializable) {
		((Initializable) acFactory).init(applicationContext.getInitParams());
	}
	applicationContext = acFactory.createApplicationContext(context);
	AbstractTilesContainerFactory factory = AbstractTilesContainerFactory.getTilesContainerFactory(applicationContext);
	return factory.createContainer(applicationContext);
}

Unfortunately, your example didn't work anymore. I tried today to run in with tilel 2.1.1 and I get following error:

can anybody provide more information to this solution?

spydesk, which version of Tiles are you using in your application? I tried to run it with 2.0.1, 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 without any success

Thanks a lot in advance!

[spydesk]

spydesk, which version of Tiles are you using in your application?

It was tiles-2.1.1 in conjunction with spring-2.5.6.

I would suggest you to test without Preparer class nor any Factory class :

<bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="com.epam.samples.tss.tiles2.TilesConfigurer"/>

thanks a lot for your response!

unfortunately it's not possible to get apache tiles 2.1.1 at the moment from the official site. have you tried to run it with 2.1.2?

I tried to run it without the factory defined in spring xml and have got the same trouble

[spydesk]

I have not tried the 2.1.2 version yet...

I have to admit that I tested Tiles only with the help of the Tiles Tag Library in JSP Files and without any XML definitions (tiles-defs.xml).

That differ a lot with your configuration where you seem to load XML Tiles definitions from a tiles-defs.xml file and render the view with the help of Velocity...
