  7. The Article Stack blog has a nice post on

    									 <A href= "http://article-stack.com/education/tiles-framework-what-why-and-how-to-integrate-with-spring-framework.amty">		 integrating Spring with Apache Tiles</a>.
    											 Apache Tiles is a nice way to manage complex layouts in web applications 
    											and can be used wit other view technologies besides <CODE>.JSP</CODE>  like 
    											 <a href= "http://www.thymeleaf.org/">Thymeleaf</a>. It's also worth noting that Tiles gives you a nice, central place to
    											make decisions about what content is rendered based on the type of request.
    											This is useful, for example, when using Spring Mobile to 
    											render mobile form-factor appropriate content or 
    											more desktop-browser centric content. 
    											
    											 </lI>
    												<LI> Dinuka Arseculeratne over at the Java Code Geeks blog

    													<a href= "http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2012/11/how-cool-is-integration-testing-with-spring-and-hibernate.html">data access logic with Spring</a> and Hibernate. Very cool!
