Can Apache Tiles be used on an offline application?

Question

I'm currently developping a Java app using SpringBoot & Maven. I'm thinking of using the Apache Tiles framework in order to compose my JSP. Here's the problem: in the future, this app will have an offline mode. So: Does Tiles is implementing well within an app in offline mode ?

Thx !

EDIT I do make requests to a back-end service. I was using JSP until now, wich worked fine, but I wanted to learned more about Tiles.

"Offline" in what sense? I mean, if you're not making any requests to a back-end, sure. — Dave Newton, Jul 21 '15 at 13:32
Sorry, my bad, I sould have been clearer. I do make requests to a back-end service. Until now, I was using JSP, wich worked fine. But I learned about Tiles, and wanted to practice it a bit :) — gouzipower, Jul 21 '15 at 14:33
Thanks, my mind is clearer now :) I've validated the other one, because of the details of the answer. — gouzipower, Jul 22 '15 at 08:54

Of course, Apache Tiles is just a piece of software that compiles your view from various different sources, which at the end of the day results in a simple HTML document. As I am sure you are aware, you don't need to be "on-line" to use HTML!

You would only incur a problem if your application accesses other services over the internet, like a database etc... But thats not Apache Tiles, that just how you've made your application!
