Atta, A redirect in a tile cannot possibly work (and I've tried & researched it months ago). To use a redirect in a forward, you must have a file system object to reach such as an html file, a jsp, or an application mapping (i.e. struts *.do). Since a tile is only internal to Struts, and not an external item, your tile cannot work as the server and file system would not have a ".mytileDefinition" mapped to anything concrete.
That said, you can make a JSP pull in and show a tile so your redirect can be to "showtile.jsp" with contents such as the below 2 lines: <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles" %> <tiles:insert beanName="someDefinition" flush="true" /> I might be off with one or two parameters of the tiles:insert because I haven't needed to do that in a long time. I just read your note about velocity tiles but since I haven't used them, I can't answer that. I suppose if you had a servlet mapping for *.vm files you could redirect to your someDefinition.vm and it would work as that is an application mapping, as I mentioned above (2nd sentence).
