The latest Shale/Tiles release results in a 404

I have been trying to update my Tiles development from release shale-framework-20061004 (works fine) to shale-framework-20061111 (fails). I am using tiles-core-2.0-r468346-SNAPSHOT.jar, which is included with the Shale release. I am also using the Tiles 2 FAQ as a guide. I immediately die with a 404 ("The requested resource (/starraShale/) is not available.") with the following Tomcat log entries:

Nov 14, 2006 2:18:03 PM org.apache.tiles.listener.TilesListener contextInitialized
INFO: Initializing TilesListener
Nov 14, 2006 2:18:03 PM org.apache.tiles.listener.TilesListener readFactoryConfig
INFO: CONFIG FILES DEFINED IN WEB.XML
Nov 14, 2006 2:18:04 PM org.apache.tiles.listener.TilesListener initDefinitionsFactory
INFO: initializing definitions factory...
SaInitializer.contextInitialized (Note: This message is from my own listener that currently does nothing but print his message.)
Nov 14, 2006 2:18:04 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Error filterStart
Nov 14, 2006 2:18:04 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext start
SEVERE: Context [/starraShale] startup failed due to previous errors

I think the problem is in my layout which had entries like
<td valign="top"><tiles:insert flush="false" name="body"/></td>,
but now has
<td valign="top"><tiles:attribute flush="false" name="body"/></td>

For sure it can't find the first Tile which is accessed via my index.jsp as follows:
<jsp:forward page="systemLogon.faces"/>
where my tiles.xml has the following entries:
  <definition name="/systemLogon"
    extends="/siteMainLayout">
      <put name="body"
        type="template"
        value="/jsp/system/logon.jsp"/>
  </definition>
  <definition name="/siteMainLayout"
    path="/tiles/layouts/starraLayout.jsp">
      <put name="title" value="/tiles/common/title.jsp"/>
      <put name="header" value="/tiles/common/header.jsp"/>
      <put name="menuBar" value="/tiles/common/menuBar.jsp"/>
      <put name="body" value=""/>
      <put name="footer" value="/tiles/common/footer.jsp"/>
  </definition>

I have tried every combination I could think of to replace the tiles:insert. Yes, I tried both tiles:insertTemplate and tiles:insertDefinition (even though tiles:attribute was the only one that made sense to me). Nothing I have tried works.

Here is my layout:
<%-- starraLayout.jsp
  2006-11-14 RJS. New.
--%>
<%@ include file="/jspf/common/taglibs.jsp" %>
<%@ include file="/jspf/common/messages.jsp" %>

<%-- Layout Tiles
  This layout create a html page with <header> and <body> tags. It render
   a header, left menu, body and footer tile.
  @param title String use in page title
  @param header: Header tile (jsp url or definition name)
  @param menuBar: Menu Bar
  @param body: Body
  @param footer: Footer
--%>
<f:view>
<html>
<head>
  <link href="<h:outputText value="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}"/><h:outputText value="#{msg['style.base']}"/>"
    rel="stylesheet"
    type="text/css"/>
  <title><tiles:attribute flush="false" name="title"/></title>
</head>

<body background="<h:outputText value="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}"/><h:outputText value="#{msg['img.background.app']}"/>"/>
<table border="0" cellspacing="5" width="100%" >
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2"><tiles:attribute flush="false" name="header"/></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top" width="13%">
      <tiles:attribute flush="false" name="menuBar"/>
    </td>
    <td valign="top">
      <tiles:attribute flush="false" name="body"/>
    </td>
  </tr
  <tr>
    <td align="center" colspan="2">
      <tiles:attribute flush="false" name="footer"/>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</f:view>

Thanks in advance for your help.

These 2 lines concern me.  Is that in your catalina.out file?  Do you  
have another log file that contains more detailed error information?   
It appears something caused the entire web application to be unable  
to deploy.  Is it the Tiles Filter?
