解决方案：

原因是因为xxx-tiles.xml中模板定义没有继承导致的问题。

定义模板必须要extends="baseLayout" 继承父模板才行。否则重定向时将会报如上错误。

 

<!-- 信息提示页面 -->
 <definition name="tipsInfoView" extends="baseLayout">
  <put-attribute name="title" value="xxxx管理系统-系统提示"/>
  <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/view/tips/common-tips.jsp"></put-attribute>
 </definition>

 

配置完成，重启即可。
