Java Equivalent for ASP.NET MVC Areas

Question

Areas, in ASP.NET MVC, are handy for breaking a site into smaller, manageable components at a higher level than controllers. They are like mini-MVC pieces within a web application.

Is there an equivalent concept in any Java MVC framework to ASP.NET Areas?

If not, are there any suggestions on best practices when emulating their functionality in a Java MVC framework?

Look at JSP Tiles and Velocity Templates. Tiles should look similiar to Areas.

As such, Java EE does not provide an out of box solution based on MVC but there are many OpenSource projects that have created a solution which implement a MVC framework - try the latest Spring and Struts versions.
