Known Bugs and Problems

  For this reason, it must be extracted from the official Tiles 2.0.3 release, that you can download in the Apache Archive site.

Migration from previous Releases

If a custom validators.xml configuration file is used as a global validator
configuration, the file needs to be adjusted.
The validation configuration is now validated against the following DTD:

<!DOCTYPE validators PUBLIC
         "-//OpenSymphony Group//XWork Validator Config 1.0//EN"
         "http://www.opensymphony.com/xwork/xwork-validator-config-1.0.dtd">

Furthermore it is no longer required, that all default validators need to be copied
over into a customized validators.xml configuration.
Just override existing (those from default) with a custom implementation or extend
it with custom configurations.
