    Description

      When simultaneously loading the same tiles definition for two locales (in my case, en_CA and es_CO) and a third empty locale, they empty locale request results in a stack trace claiming an anonymous definition could not be found. I traced this to a synchronization issue in CachingLocaleUrlDefinitionDAO and ResolvingLocaleUrlDefinitionDAO. The issue seems to be that the loadParentDefinitions method loads the parent locale definitions into the locale2definitionMap map regardless if the map already contains an entry for the requested locale. Alone this is fine, since the update is synchronized in a previous method call in the stack trace. However when the three requests come in simultaneously, and the requested definition has nested anonymous definitions, there is a timing issue.

      The first request (say en_CA) requests the root definition (in this case 'security/login'). This causes the root, en, and en_CA definition maps to be loaded. At the same time, the second request (es_CO) requests the 'security/login' definition. This will cause the root, es, and es_CO definitions to be loaded (overwriting the root locale with new anonymous definitions). The third request (empty locale) will request the 'security/login' definition as well. The definition processing will then see that the security/login definition references other definitions, and begin requesting anonymous definitions. However, since the root locale has been overwritten, the requested definitions no longer appear in the root map. This results in the stack trace below.

      Appended below are my tiles definition configurations and the stack trace, for reference. I've also applied a fix for myself. In Tiles 2.2.2, I updated the loadParentDefinitions in ResolvingLocaleUrlDefinitionDAO to check if the map already contains an entry for the requested locale, and returns the existing entry if so:

      @Override
      protected Map<String, Definition> loadParentDefinitions(Locale parentLocale) {
      if(locale2definitionMap.containsKey(parentLocale))

      { return copyDefinitionMap(locale2definitionMap.get(parentLocale)); }

      else

      { return loadDefinitionsFromURLs(parentLocale); }

      }

      I've verified this fixes my issue.
