Apache Tiles retired. Alternatives?

Question

Apache Tiles moved into the Attic in December 2018. So Apache Tiles has retired.

I'm using Spring MVC framework and JSP.

What alternatives are there? I saw Sitemesh, but it is a decorator and I need a template framework.

I want to maintain my tiles and use other framework. It is a big application, so I can't rewrite all my tiles at the same time

Could anybody help me please?

Answer 1

You can try Thymeleaf or Freemarker or mustache. All these libraries has integration with Spring applications and you should get plenty of examples online to get it working with your applications. Below are the links for the respective websites

Answer 2

With Tiles is in the Apache Attic it does not mean you need to stop using it.

Unless you were depending on it to continue to provide you with new features and improvements.
