I have used other versions of spring, but right now I am using 3.2.0.RELEASE. Really appreciate the help.
Changed two things in webmvc-context.xml.
<mvc:view-controller path="/index.html" view-name="index" />
<mvc:view-controller path="/about.html" view-name="info/index" />
and the tilesConfigurer and viewResolver beans
<bean id="tilesConfigurer"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesConfigurer">
<property name="definitions">
<list>
<value>/WEB-INF/tiles-defs/templates.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass">
<value>
org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles2.TilesView
</value>
</property>
</bean>
There were also libraries that were changed. I don't think that is relevant, but here they are.
