If I specify a Tiles definition file I must supply at least one definition. Otherwise I get this:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type "tiles-definitions" is incomplete, it must match "(definition)+". So my Tiles definition file looks like: <tiles-definitions> <definition name="dummy" path="/layouts/dummyLayout.jsp"/> </tiles-definitions> The file layouts/dummyLayout.jsp does not actually exist. However I seem to get no errors at runtime. So I think I've got the right configuration now to proceed with a refactoring toward Tiles.
