Description

I have the following definition:

<definition name="standardLayout" template="/WEB-INF/layouts/standard.jspx" />

<definition name="*/*" extends="standardLayout">
        <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jspx/{1}/{2}.jspx" />
</definition>

So I set Firefox to use English/United States [en-us] and open a page that matches the wildcard. This works fine. Then I change the language setting in Firefox to English [en], and open the same page. Then I get an exception:

This works the same with other languages that has sub-languages as well. Like Spanish/Chile [es-cl] works, and Spanish [es] fails. German/Germany [de-de] works, German [de] fails.
But: if I do this the other way around, it works! Open the page with English [en] works, then I open with English/United States [en-us] and it works too. Very strange.

And if I don't use wildcards for the definition, then it works no matter what. With Tiles 2.1.0 and 2.0.6.
