It is designed to be used easily alongside other web frameworks like Spring Web, Struts, etc. I had the opportunity to worked with Apache Tiles on my first Java Web project built over Struts and it helped us a lot to organise our pages. And, the next time I've used it was along side Spring Webflow for a cruise booking web application. It did helped us work smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Software Architect Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 3/4/2019 "Good Library for UI design" 3.5/5 What do you like best about Apache Tiles? Apache Tiles is a library which enables to divide a HTML UI page into components and then reuse those components in multiple pages. With this it allows the design of UI page into components which are merged at runtime to generate the complete HTML page for a specific usecase. The library provides tag libraries for dividing a single HTML file into multiple files and then using other tags to combine those files to generate a final UI page. This decreases the code for the UI considerably. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache Tiles? One of the things which I dislike is that even though the HTML pages are divided into components and is reused in multiple pages, that does not mean that which a user browser through the pages, the common components are not reloaded again from the server. This feature is not a part of the Tiles framework. To enable the components to not reload for subsequent it still requires the use of Javascript and AJAX. But still the code saved by Tiles is a good accomplishment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Apache Tiles: Definitely recommended for UI development.
