public static DefinitionsFactory createDefinitionsFactory(ServletContext servletContext,
    DefinitionsFactoryConfig factoryConfig) throws DefinitionsFactoryException 
{
        return tilesUtilImpl.createDefinitionsFactory(servletContext, factoryConfig);
}

Create Definition factory from specified configuration object. Create a ConfigurableDefinitionsFactory and initialize it with the configuration object. This later can contain the factory classname to use. Factory is made accessible from tags.

Fallback of several factory creation methods.

 public static  void doForward(String uri,
    HttpServletRequest request,
    HttpServletResponse response,
    ServletContext servletContext) throws IOException, ServletException 
{
                                                   
        tilesUtilImpl.doForward(uri, request, response, servletContext);
}

Do a forward using request dispatcher. This method is used by the Tiles package anytime a forward is required.

 public static  void doInclude(String uri,
    PageContext pageContext) throws IOException, ServletException 
{
        tilesUtilImpl.doInclude(uri, pageContext);
}

Do an include using PageContext.include(). This method is used by the Tiles package when an include is required. The Tiles package can use indifferently any form of this method.

 public static  void doInclude(String uri,
    HttpServletRequest request,
    HttpServletResponse response,
    ServletContext servletContext) throws IOException, ServletException 
{
            
        tilesUtilImpl.doInclude(uri, request, response, servletContext);
}

Do an include using request dispatcher. This method is used by the Tiles package when an include is required. The Tiles package can use indifferently any form of this method.

 public static ComponentDefinition getDefinition(String definitionName,
    ServletRequest request,
    ServletContext servletContext) throws FactoryNotFoundException, DefinitionsFactoryException 
{
            
        try {
            return getDefinitionsFactory(request, servletContext).getDefinition(
                definitionName,
                (HttpServletRequest) request,
                servletContext);
        } catch (NullPointerException ex) { // Factory not found in context
            throw new FactoryNotFoundException("Can't get definitions factory from context.");
        }
}

Get a definition by its name. First, retrieve definition factory and then get requested definition. Throw appropriate exception if definition or definition factory is not found.

 public static DefinitionsFactory getDefinitionsFactory(ServletRequest request,
    ServletContext servletContext) 
{
        return tilesUtilImpl.getDefinitionsFactory(request, servletContext);
}

Get definition factory from appropriate servlet context.

 public static TilesUtilImpl getTilesUtil() 
{
                  
        return tilesUtilImpl;
}

Get the real implementation.

 static boolean isTilesUtilImplSet() 
{
        return implAlreadySet;
}

Getter to know if the underlying implementation is already set to another value than the default value.

 public static  void setTilesUtil(TilesUtilImpl tilesUtil) 
{
        if (implAlreadySet) {
            return;
        }
        tilesUtilImpl = tilesUtil;
        implAlreadySet = true;
}

Set the real implementation. This method should be called only once. Successive calls have no effect.

 protected static  void testReset() 
{
        implAlreadySet = false;
        tilesUtilImpl = new TilesUtilImpl();
}

Reset internal state. This method is used by test suites to reset the class to its original state.
