Hello,

in my maven build I want to integrate an test testing my application context. The problem is that in the application context is a tilesConfigurer defined, which throws an NullPointerException, when I start the application context outside an servletContainer.

Code:
	@Test
	public void testKontaktContext() throws Exception {
		FileSystemXmlApplicationContext ctx =
			new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext("file:src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/kontakt-servlet.xml");
		ctx.close();
	}
Code:
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.tiles.web.util.ServletContextAdapter.<init>(ServletContextAdapter.java:66)
	at org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesConfigurer.afterPropertiesSet(TilesConfigurer.java:202)
	at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.invokeInitMethods(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1460)
	at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.initializeBean(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory.java:1398)
	... 36 more
I found the following thread (http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?t=80543) but the solution there (comment out the tilesConfigurer) dows not work for me as the test should run witihn every maven build.

Is there any way to fix this?
