Case 1: <tiles:insertAttribute name="header" /> commented out in template.jsp 1) When I give the URI as localhost:8080/CtxtRoot/ , I can see template.jsp in browser.
2) But if I give the URI as localhost:8080/CtxtRoot/template , I don't get header.jsp in browser. I get 404 not found error.
Case 2: <tiles:insertAttribute name="header" /> is added in template.jsp and 3) If I give localhost:8080/CtxtRoot/ as URI, I get NoSuchAttributeException: Attribute 'header' not found.
How to resolve the header not found and 404 error?
I tried all the solutions in stackoverflow, coderanch and springIO etc. I couldn't fix them. Its been 48 hours, I am struck with this issue. I need a pair of eyes and some one to help me fix this issue. Thanks a lot.
