Description

When using ModularTilesInitializer, an ApplicationContext can be created by each TilesInitializer, which will then be registered into the ServletContext by the TilesContainer.

As a result, the registered ApplicationContext may vary depending on the classpath order, leading to unreliable results.

Indeed we should use a single ApplicationContext in an application; in any case, registering the ApplicationContext with the ServletContext should not be the responsibility of the TilesContainer.

As a workaround, use a singleton pattern to create the ApplicationContext in each TilesInitializer.
