You could do something like this. Let's say you create a page where all other content will be embedded - main.html. It will look something like this:

    
Some header
    

    
Some footer

Then you want to create some page which will be embedded in your main.html page - some-page.html:

    
${title}

The goal is to replace

within main.html with the content from some-page.html. In controller, that will look like this:

@Controller
public class DemoController {

    @RequestMapping
    public String somePage(Model model) {
        // Note that you can easy pass parameters to your "somePage" fragment
        model.addAttribute("title", "Woa this works!");
        return "main :: mainPage(page='some-page', fragment='somePage')";
    }
}

And there you go! Every time when you want to swap content in main.html, you just change page and fragment parameters within string in your controller.
