Description

Starting in 6.4.0 a tiles definition in /WEB-INF/tiles.xml is not found automatically anymore. The problem arises only, if the definition in web.xml contains no param section:

<listener>
   <listener-class>org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener</listener-class>
</listener>

 
The workaround is to specify the specific location:

<listener>
   <listener-class>org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener</listener-class>
</listener>

 <context-param>
     <param-name>org.apache.tiles.definition.DefinitionsFactory.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG</param-name>
    <param-value>
            /WEB-INF/tiles.xml
    </param-value>
</context-param>
