Add tiles.xml from another maven modules

Question

I have 3 maven modules. In one module MAIN - I have dependency from 2 another (MODULE1 and MODULE2). All modules based on spring mvc. So, in all modules I use tiles as template constructor. In MAIN module in mvc-dipatcher-servlet.xml i try to configurate it

<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
    <property name="viewClass">
        <value>
        org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesView
        </value>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="tilesConfigurer"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesConfigurer">
    <property name="definitions">
        <list>
            <value>/WEB-INF/module-one-tiles.xml</value>
            <value>/WEB-INF/module-main-tiles.xml</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

But it gives me an error, that it cannot find module-one-tiles.xml file. I also tried to use classpath*, the same result. Is it possible to add tiles.xml files from another maven modules?

Answer 1

if your module jar contains /WEB-INF/module-one-tiles.xml at this location and your module jar is in classpath of your MAIN module then

<value>classpath:/WEB-INF/module-one-tiles.xml</value>

would work
