Spring 4 + Apache Tiles 3 display plain text

I'm going to setup a new project with Spring 4 and Apache Tiles 3. I have a weird problem.

When my tiles definition is loaded, instead to display the requested JSP, the controller returns to the browser the plain text not rendered.

view.xml

<bean id="tilesViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
    <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesView"/>
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesConfigurer" id="tilesConfigurer">
    <property name="definitions">
        <list>
            <value>/WEB-INF/tiles/tiles-definitions.xml</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

tiles-definition.xml

<tiles-definitions>
    <definition name="welcome" template="/WEB-INF/view/jsp/template.jsp" >
        <put-attribute name="header" value="Test" />
        <put-attribute name="body" value="Test" />
        <put-attribute name="footer" value="Test" />
    </definition>

template.jsp

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles" %>
<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <title>Insert title here</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="header"><tiles:insertAttribute name="header"/></div>
        <div id="body"><tiles:insertAttribute name="body"/></div>
        <div id="footer"><tiles:insertAttribute name="footer"/></div>
    </body>
</html>

try to configure view resolver bean like:

<bean id="viewResolver"
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
    <property name="viewClass">
            <value>
                org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesView
            </value>
    </property>
</bean>
  <!-- The actual tiles templates are in the tiles-definitions.xml  -->         
<bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesConfigurer"> 
    <property name="definitions">       
        <list>
            <value>/WEB-INF/tiles/tiles-definitions.xml</value>
        </list>     
    </property> 
</bean>

and tiles-definition.xml

<tiles-definitions>
    <definition name="base.definition"
          template="/WEB-INF/view/jsp/layout.jsp">
      <put-attribute name="title" value="" />
      <put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/view/jsp/template/header.jsp" />

      <put-attribute name="body" value="" />
      <put-attribute name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/view/jsp/template/footer.jsp" />
    </definition>
    <definition name="welcome" extends="base.definition">
      <put-attribute name="title" value="Home" />
      <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/view/jsp/welcome.jsp" />
    </definition>
</tiles-definitions>

Then, from your Controller return tiles definition name.

Like:

@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String welcome(){
  return "welcome"; //tiles definition name
}

I did a big wrong in web.xml mapping the application servlet with /* instead of /

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>applicationServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

You need to include tilesConfigurer bean in your view.xml file:

    <bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesConfigurer" >
        <property name="definitions">
            <value>/WEB-INF/tiles/tiles-definitions.xml</value>
        </property>
    </bean>
