      public class TilesView
      extends AbstractUrlBasedView

  `View` implementation that retrieves a Tiles definition. The "url" property is interpreted as name of a Tiles definition.

  This class builds on Tiles2, which requires JSP 2.0. JSTL support is integrated out of the box due to JSTL's inclusion in JSP 2.0. Note: Spring 4.0 requires Tiles 2.2.2.

  Depends on a TilesContainer which must be available in the ServletContext. This container is typically set up via a `TilesConfigurer` bean definition in the application context.

      Description copied from class: `AbstractUrlBasedView`
      Check whether the underlying resource that the configured URL points to actually exists.
      Overrides:
        `checkResource` in class `AbstractUrlBasedView`
      Parameters:
        `locale` - the desired Locale that we're looking for
      Returns:
        `true` if the resource exists (or is assumed to exist); `false` if we know that it does not exist
      Throws:
        `Exception` - if the resource exists but is invalid (e.g. could not be parsed)

    - #### renderMergedOutputModel

          protected void renderMergedOutputModel(Map<String,Object> model,
                                                 HttpServletRequest request,
                                                 HttpServletResponse response)
                                          throws Exception

      Description copied from class: `AbstractView`
      Subclasses must implement this method to actually render the view.

      The first step will be preparing the request: In the JSP case, this would mean setting model objects as request attributes. The second step will be the actual rendering of the view, for example including the JSP via a RequestDispatcher.

      Specified by:
        `renderMergedOutputModel` in class `AbstractView`
      Parameters:
        `model` - combined output Map (never `null`), with dynamic values taking precedence over static attributes
        `request` - current HTTP request
        `response` - current HTTP response
      Throws:
        `Exception` - if rendering failed
