> {{org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsApplicationResource}} constructor takes in a single parameter, URL, and from this parameter getPath() is asked, which returns absolute path to a resource on disk (usually?), and this is passed to the superclass as String. 
> This logic is however incompatible with superclass {{org.apache.tiles.request.locale.PostfixedApplicationResource}} which is built to deal with relative paths to the context root. e.g '/WEB-INF/tiles.xml'.
> Previous creates issues with 'refreshing' enabled in (CachingLocaleUrlDefinitionDAO) superclass {{org.apache.tiles.definition.dao.BaseLocaleUrlDefinitionDAO#refreshRequired()}} method, which iterates over these resource paths and ultimately calls {{servletContext#getResource(path)}}, which always returns null on absolute paths. This results in the following NPE on next line where {{resource.getLastModified()}} is asked.
