Answer 1

Looking on maven central (http://search.maven.org/#search|gav|1|g%3A%22org.apache.tiles%22%20AND%20a%3A%22tiles-api%22) I can't find tiles-api in version 2.2.

Actually this is true of all the tiles dependencies.

Try changing to use 2.2.0 (or 2.2.1 or 2.2.2) instead:

<properties>
    ...
    <tiles.version>2.2.0</tiles.version>
</properties>

Answer 2

I can't see your entire JSP code but in addition to above answers, also make sure that all the pages which you have referenced in this jsp have

<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>

at top of the page or it will fail to load.
