    35   * <p>
    36   * WebLogic (at least v6 and v7) attempts to serialize the TilesRequestProcessor
    37   * when re-deploying the Webapp in development mode. The TilesRequestProcessor
    38   * is not serializable, and loses the Tiles definitions. This results in
    39   * NullPointerException and/or NotSerializableException when using the app after
    40   * automatic redeploy.
    41   * </p>
    42   * <p>
    43   * This bug report proposes a workaround for this problem, in the hope it will
    44   * help others and maybe motivate an actual fix.
    45   * </p>
    46   * <p>
    47   * The attached class extends the Struts Action servlet and fixes the problem by
    48   * reloading the Tiles definitions when they have disappeared.
