Spring MVC Integration with Thymeleaf + Existing JSP apache tiles

Question

I am trying to configure Thymeleaf Html page with Spring MVC. I have controller method from which I am trying to return he thymeleaf template html page. Its existing project which uses spring mvc + tiles.I need to integrate thymeleaf in to existing project. The template Engine is autowired which is coming from different Jar file. I have provided configuration below. I am not getting any exception but getting Page Not found when I try to load the page.

IS it possible to have one flow which resolves view with Tiles + Jps and another flow with Thymeleaf template. how can I achieve it .

   @Controller
   @RequestMapping("/thymeleafConfiguration")
   public class ConfigController {

    @Autowired
    TemplateEngine templateEngine; // This class is coming from different jar and I have 
                                    //autowired. xml configuration is provided for reference
    
    
    @PostConstruct   // Changes needs to apply only to certain class so I am using 
                        //postconstruct method in controller 
                        // where I need to use thymeleaf template. 
    public void Init() {
        SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver = new SpringResourceTemplateResolver();
        templateResolver.setCacheable(false);
        templateResolver.setPrefix("/templates/thymeleafPage/");
        templateResolver.setSuffix(".html");

        templateEngine.setTemplateResolver(templateResolver);

        
        ThymeleafViewResolver resolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
        resolver.setOrder(1);
        resolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine);
 
    }
    @RequestMapping(value = "/view") // controller method where I am redirecting thymeleaf 
                                         page
    public String  viewTemplate(){      
        return "thymeleaf";
    }
}

application-context.xml

<bean id="thymeleafProcessor" class="com.java.ThymeleafTemplateProcessor">
    <property name="templateEngine" ref="templateEngine"/>
