How to handle addressing to static pages in Spring MVC + Tiles3

I have a Spring MVC application that is using Tile3. I have many static pages that need to have them in the template of the website. (Provided by tile). How can I access these static pages? should I do it through a controller? Examples of static pages are index.jsp and aboutus.jsp. I need to have the same footer and header on all pages, either dynamic or static but not sure how to do the addressing.

Controller

@Controller
public class HelloController {

    protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass());

    public HelloController() {
        System.err.println("Constructor of HelloController");
    }

    @RequestMapping("/index.htm")
    public String index(){
        System.err.println("in index method");
        return "index";
    }
