I was try to move the tiles.xml to different path and change the definitions value in tilesConfigurer, But the error is still appear.
I have debug the code, 'servletContext' is null when initialize TilesConfigurer, I think it mat be missed some config in applicationContext.xml, but I don't know how to fix it.
