In Listing 17-25, the bean you need to remove is in italics, while the new bean definitions are in
bold. First, the original ViewResolver bean (with the InternalResourceViewResolver class) is removed.
Then, a ViewResolver bean with the class UrlBasedViewResolver is defined, with the property viewClass
set to the TilesView class, which is Spring MVC's support for Tiles. Finally, a tilesConfigurer bean is
defined that provides the layout configurations required by Tiles.
One final configuration file we need to prepare is the /WEB-INF/views/contacts/views.xml file,
which defines the views for the contact application in our sample. Listing 17-26 shows the file content.

</definition>
