enter image description here

My config class is

public class AppConfig  extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter  {

@Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
    InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
    viewResolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
    viewResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
    viewResolver.setSuffix(".jsp");

    return viewResolver;
}

@Bean
public MessageSource messageSource() {
    ResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ResourceBundleMessageSource();
    messageSource.setBasename("messages");
    return messageSource;
}
     ........//

}

where should I place my Tiles JSPs. I hope my question is clear, Please comment for additional information. Thanks!

You should be using UrlBasedViewResolver view resolver and not the InternalResourceViewResolver since the suffix, view name and prefix would be specified in the Tiles Definition XML files.

@Bean 
public UrlBasedViewResolver viewResolver() { 
    UrlBasedViewResolver viewResolver = new UrlBasedViewResolver();
    viewResolver.setViewClass(TilesView.class);
    return viewResolver;
} 


@Bean 
public TilesConfigurer tilesConfigurer() { 
    TilesConfigurer tilesConfigurer = new TilesConfigurer();
    tilesConfigurer.setDefinitions(new String[]{
            "/WEB-INF/defs/general.xml", 
            "/WEB-INF/defs/tiles.xml"  //another definition
    }); 
    tilesConfigurer.setCheckRefresh(true);
    return tilesConfigurer;
}

And add in your Tiles Def XML file for each views like this:

For url path http://localhost:8080/register:

@RequestMapping("/register")

Definition:

<definition name="page" template="/WEB-INF/layout/page.jsp">
    <put-list-attribute name="stylesheets">
        <add-attribute value="/resources/css/AdminLTE.min.css" />
    </put-list-attribute>
    <put-list-attribute name="javascripts">
        <add-attribute value="/resources/js/main.js" />
    </put-list-attribute>
</definition>

<definition name="register" extends="page">
    <put-attribute name="title" value="User Registeration" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/register.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="current" value="register" />
</definition>

I have an example on Github for Spring Tiles but it is using XML Configuration, you can use above @Bean Configuration to make it use JavaConfig.
