Welcome back to another installment of <EM>This Week in Spring</EM>. This week, I'm in Beijing for <a href="http://springonechina.cloudfoundry.com">SpringOne China</a> and, next week, I'm off to India for <A href="http://springoneindia.cloudfoundry.com/">SpringOne India</a>.

Alright, let's get on with this week's roundup!

oriented. <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.
