Hello all -
I can configure and deploy an existing tiles app within J2
(/jetspeed/WEB-INF/deploy) and view / use the application in tomcat at
its non-portlet context (eg, /webapp). However, whenever I request a
.psml with a fragment that contains the struts portlet configured for
the app, I get a NullPointerException at line 217 (latest cvs head) of
JetspeedContainerServlet.
For the longest time I was unable to get the app to work in either
context (portal vs webapp), but I was *finally* able to at least run
the app deployed by J2 but requested at the web context root. To do
so, I had to remove my <request-processor> elements in the
struts-config-module.xml files and just letting StrutsPortlet notice
the TilesPlugin usage and configure TilesPortletRequestProcessor on
its own. The only thing I gain from this is the ability to run the
app at the direct webapp context. When viewing the app via
strutsportlet, I get the following stack trace that has hounded me
since day one with this Tiles-app-in-J2 quest.

struts-portlet-config.xml:
Note: All I am wanting to do at this point is to view the first URL,
which performs a login action and redirects, which seems to fit in
with Ate's Struts Bridge doc recommendations. I have tried changing
the portlet-url-type default attrib from 'render' to 'action' and have
the same result with both.
<config>
<render-context>
<attribute name="errors"/>
<attribute name="message"/>
</render-context>
<portlet-url-type default="action">
</portlet-url-type>
Again, viewing in the deployed web root works - the app runs as normal.
Viewing within J2 yields the following *every* time:

many more lines here
Any thoughts? I'd appreciate any further insight. I'm really getting
frustrated with this - especially since I'm now able to reap the
advantages of the latest Struts Bridge (eg running as normal within
the normal deployment context).
Thanks,
