You need the TilesRequestProcessor and ActionComponentServlet with Struts1.1.
ActionComponentServlet takes in charge Tiles initialization.
TilesRequestProcessor takes in charge Struts "forward" catching.
You can have your own request processor extending the Tiles one, allowing
functionalities from both.
Hope this help,
