most similar questions asked have NullPointerExceptions, but I think my issue is different. I am using Spring with Maven, Webflow, and Apache Tiles 2.

To be honest, I got no clue what's going on. If anyone can help that would be great. Thank you all in advance!

Error message:

  • "org.apache.tiles.definition.DefinitionsFactoryException: I/O Error reading definitions.] with root cause ", since you are loading multiple file in contextConfigLocation, they may not correctly parsed. Check if you have added them correctly http://stackoverflow.com/a/20759824/410677 – kuhajeyan Oct 19 '16 at 17:33
  • Hey, thank you very much. Great idea, but it is possible doing this. At least it has worked in my previous project and I've seen it in other ones as well... Could still be, but are there other ideas? – AdamFromSwitzerland Oct 20 '16 at 15:21
