## org.apache.struts.tiles
Class TilesUtil

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesUtil

Direct Known Subclasses:
  DefinitionsUtil

    public class TilesUtil

extends Object

Class containing utility methods for Tiles. Methods of this class are static and thereby accessible from anywhere. The underlying implementation can be changed with `setTilesUtil(TilesUtilImpl)`.
Real implementation classes should derive from the `TilesUtilImpl` class.
Some methods are specified to throw the `UnsupportedOperationException` if the underlying implementation doesn't support the operation.

Field Summary
`protected static Log` | `log` Commons Logging instance.
`protected static TilesUtilImpl` | `tilesUtilImpl` The implementation of tilesUtilImpl

Constructor Summary
`TilesUtil()`

Method Summary
`static DefinitionsFactory` | `createDefinitionsFactory(ServletContext servletContext, DefinitionsFactoryConfig factoryConfig)` Create Definition factory from specified configuration object.
`static void` | `doForward(String uri, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, ServletContext servletContext)` Do a forward using request dispatcher.
`static void` | `doInclude(String uri, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, ServletContext servletContext)` Do an include using request dispatcher.
`static void` | `doInclude(String uri, PageContext pageContext)` Do an include using PageContext.include().

`static ComponentDefinition` | `getDefinition(String definitionName, ServletRequest request, ServletContext servletContext)` Get a definition by its name.
`static DefinitionsFactory` | `getDefinitionsFactory(ServletRequest request, ServletContext servletContext)` Get definition factory from appropriate servlet context.
