I haven't seen a tutorial on it. Since I use Spring with Struts and Tiles, I created some wrapper objects around the Tiles configuration object so that I could initialize and configure Tiles from the Spring applicationContext.xml. I keep meaning to talk to Antonio about possibly changing the main Tiles configuration classes to allow Spring configuration directly, but unfortunately I keep running out of time. The same strategy may work for you. I'm not sure how directly useful my classes would be, they use other features of my framework, but I can send them to you to look at if you're interested.
