Shitij, You can't insert a frameset document inside of a DIV element in the middle of a regular HTML page. The fact that this is not working has nothing to do with Tiles. It is simply invalid HTML. You can nest frameset documents, but, you would still need to reference the nested frameset document as the SRC attribute for a frame in an outer frameset document.
In case it might help, here is a brief explanation of how tiles and framesets are successfully used together in the webapp that I am currently working on. I use framesets with tiles in a limited fashion. The bulk of my current application doesn't require the use of frames, but, I need to use them to integrate a third party solution as if it were a part of our application. I do this by displaying the responses from their server in a frame where the body content tile would normally be for a regular page. I have a separate master layout tile definition for normal pages and a different master layout tile definition for frameset pages. The master layout tile definition for the frameset pages has a PATH attribute that refers to a frameset document. The tricky part is that the SRC attribute in your frame definitions within the frameset have to make a separate request. Obviously, you can't have a tile attribute referring to another tile to insert at that point. Plus, I do everything through action mappings with no direct JSP references client side. So, this means that I end up with a lot of cookie cutter action mappings for the various frames that then simply forward to the tile definition for each frame. I was able to at least get some code reuse by inserting the same tiles for menus, footer, etc... into a page tile for each frame. For example, inserting the same menu tile into the header frame of the frameset as I use to insert the menu into the master page layout for the rest of the regular pages. There is probably a more elegant solution, but, I haven't invested much time or energy into this because I only need to use it for this one special case. So, I wouldn't necessarily emulate what I have done. However, you clearly can mix the use of framesets with Tiles.
