Spring & Tiles - Get rid of tiles.xml

I have a Tiles template where each page provides a title, some stuff to add in the <head>, stuff to put in some concrete <div>, and stuff to append to <body> after everything else.

Most of those things are very small since the page is rendered with JS.

How can I get rid of tiles.xml or make it more manageable?

I don't want each of the pages to require 3 files:

<definition name="my_page" template="/template.jsp">
    <put-attribute name="title" value="My Title" />
    <put-attribute name="head" value="/tiles/my-head.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/tiles/my-page.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="body-append" value="/tiles/my-append.jsp" />
</definition>

And I don't want to put content of all pages in tiles.xml.

Ideally, it would simply redirect my_page to /my_page.jsp which would import and fill the template by itself.

I'm talking about a Spring app with TilesView.

You can use the tiles JSP tags directly in your JSP. You don't have to use definitions if you don't want to.

In your my_page.jsp:

<tiles:insertTemplate template="/template.jsp" flush="true">
<tiles:putAttribute name="title" value="My Title" />
<tiles:putAttribute name="head" value="/tiles/my-head.jsp" />
... etc
</tiles:insertTemplate>

See http://tiles.apache.org/framework/tiles-jsp/tlddoc/index.html
