Hi, I had exactly the same problem. I got it work using Struts 1.1 Beta. For me the problem seemed to be with my struts-config.xml file or my web.xml file (I'm not sure which sorry, but I updated them both). Make sure you're using the latest dtd's. I"m using struts-config_1_1.dtd and web-app_2_3.dtd respectively. It was strange error. I basically rewrote both my struts-config.xml and web.xml from scratch, made sure the latest struts.jar was being copied into my web application and it worked.
As for this: >> it also use forward to a tiles definition, why? You can assemble pages using your tiles-def.xml without actually writing the entire page and use struts to forward to the definition which puts it all together for you. So for example in an application I'm working on I have a 'gallery page' which is just a really just the body. The components that make up the page (header, menu, footer and body) are defined in my tiles-def.xml with the name forward.gallery.page and to get that page to display I just use a struts forward to that definition. It's an excellent framework once you get it going. Hope that helps.

Subject: Re: Weird problem with tiles and struts forward. From: "Jack Gao" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> === Thanks for the reply group. Yes, I'm using struts 1.1 beta. But the tutorial looks work fine, it also use forward to a tiles definition, why? And since I already use ActionComponentServlet (Actually, since I need to init log4j in the servlet, I extends from it.). Any idea why tutorial works, but not our program?
