HowTo:: Spring 4 Scala MVC without Web.XML - Tiles3 : static resources and front-end templating

Img.1.:: project structure - Tiles3 with localised messages and simple template 

This blogpost is fully focused on simple spring 4 scala project Tiles configuration and how to give access to the localised messages (see. Img.1.). 
In the WebConfig scala class is also configured:
1.  messageSource @Bean :

@Bean(name = Array("messageSource"))
def getMessageSource: MessageSource = {
  val msgSrc:ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource = new ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource()
  msgSrc.setBasename("classpath:/messages/message")
  msgSrc
}

Such bean give us access to the messages place in the "resource" project folder.
2.  default displayed locale by the "localeResolver" bean:

@Bean(name = Array("localeResolver"))
def getLocaleResolver: LocaleResolver = {
  val cookieLocaleResolver: CookieLocaleResolver = new CookieLocaleResolver()
  cookieLocaleResolver.setDefaultLocale(new Locale("en"))
  cookieLocaleResolver
}

3. access to the static project resources as is mentioned in to one of previous posts 

Let's start on the front-end dev. with the default tiles.xml file in the ../pages directory

  The example project has two page to display based on "standardLayout" which consists from header and footer

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"%>


  



   Take a look into github example project

After having also *.jsp pages defined we can run our Tomcat7 container

container:start

and open the web browser and call the applicaiton: 
1. http://localhost:9090/?lang=de
2. http://localhost:9090/test/web?lang=de
3. http://localhost:9090/test/web?lang=en
4. http://localhost:9090/test/web

Enjoy Tiles 3 and take a look on my github example project to get more information around
