Tiles2 Problem

[Yoeri]

I ran into a little problem wit tiles2.
The error I get is:
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet dispatcher threw exception
java.io.IOException: No request dispatcher returned for path 'null'

Here is my config:

Dispatcher-servlet.xml:

    <bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
        <property name="mappings">
            <props>
                <prop key="/index.htm">indexController</prop>
                <prop key="/admin/addLink.htm">addLinkController</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
        <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesView"/>
    </bean>
    <!-- 
        Tiles configurer
    -->
    <bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesConfigurer">
      <property name="definitions">
        <list>
          <value>/WEB-INF/tiles-config.xml</value>
        </list>
      </property>
    </bean>

tiles-config.xml

    <!-- Administration template -->
    <definition name="adminTemplate" page="/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/template.jsp">
        <put name="header" content="/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/header.jsp"></put>
        <put name="content" content="dummyContentPage.jsp"></put>
    </definition>
    <!-- Standard template -->
    <definition name="template">
        <!-- todo -->
    </definition>
    
    <!-- 
    WEB PAGES
    -->
    <definition name="index" extends="template">
        <put name="content" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/index.jsp" />
    </definition>
    <!--
    ADMIN PAGES
    -->
    <definition name="admin/addLink" extends="adminTemplate">
        <put name="content" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/admin/addLink.jsp"/>
    </definition>

Thanks for the help

Problem with struts2 which in spring 2.x.

<bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles.TilesConfigurer">
        <property name="definitions">
            <list>
                <value>/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>
    <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
        <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles.TilesView"/>
    </bean>

replace usage of org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2 with tiles. That's all.
Maybe in tiles2 some another working mechanism ...

If you upgraded from tiles 1.x the error can be traced to the tiles definitions xml.

try upgrading to

<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
       "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 2.0//EN"
       "http://tiles.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_2_0.dtd">

Adapt the definitions file and your jsps to reflect tiles2!
