Hi Jack,
As I said earlier I had exactly the same problem as you and so now I've done
a little detective work to try and figure it out. Here is what I've found.
At the bottom of my struts-config I have this.
<!-- ========== Associated Request Processor settings
=================== -->
<!-- Here we specified the tiles processor -->
<controller
processorClass="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor">
</controller>
Don't ask me why, it was in the example so I put it in (I'm still kind of
new to the world of struts). If I comment it out, I get the error you've
reported. If I put it in, no error.
Looks like I'm working on registration page similar to yours, so I quickly
put together a tiles version of it. I've attached my tiles-def.xml file and
struts-config.xml file for you to have a look at. Please note, my
tiles-def.xml file is _really_ simple. I just wanted to experiment. In the
other version I have I actually extend definitions etc. Which I'm going to
look at now, to make sure that has nothing to do with it.
Hope this helps.
Brendan

Yes, that would be a problem. I'm building some pages now that will make use
of findForward, so I'll let you know if I experience success with the
forward elements within an action block. If I have problems too, then it's
probably a bug in Struts where the forward attribute works but enclosed
forward elements do not work. If I experience success, then we can compare
web.xml, struts-config.xml, and tiles-defs.xml files to see how mine differ
from yours.

Well, I don't think this is the problem.
If I had to use forward attribute instead of forward tag, How can I forward
to different page depend on the result?
