1> Add jstl.jar (version 1.1 i guess) to your WEB-INF/lib folder
2> Modify index.jsp as shown below
Listing 1 - index.jsp 3> Add a controller for the landing or index page.
Listing 2 - EntryController.java 4> Add a controller for the upload page view

6> Click on upload photo, you will see it is accessible to any one. But only logged on users should be able to access that page.

Figure 2 - secure page

In the next post I will start with the first step to ensure that a user is logged in / signed in before he or she can access the upload photo page.

In this post I will demonstrate how to integrate Apache Tiles with Thymeleaf. This is very simple. The first step is to include the tiles and thymeleaf-tiles extension dependencies.

A more modular and flexible approach (which also allows you to minimize coupling and dependencies in your applications) is to load the barebones of your application with the core context loaders and load the rest of your beans in a pluggable way. For example you may be interested in loading your page controllers, business tier and data access code as three separate modules.

The goal is to put all your Spring beans in a particular layer, package it as a jar with one or more configuration file(with one fol...
