When you insert an attribute in JSP: 
<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="body"/>

you must define the attribute in tiles definitions: 
<definition name="/home" template="/WEB-INF/templates/main.jsp">
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/views/home-body.jsp" />
</definition>

Otherwise you'll get runtime exception.

The ignore attribute, which defaults to false, will suppress the runtime exception when the attribute is not defined in tiles definition: 
<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>
<tiles:insertAttribute name="body" ignore="true"/>
