Hi Alayne, Yes, we're using struts-1.1b2, although using tiles from the latest nightly build, as the included tiles-documentation.war did not work for us - on Tomcat3.3aFinal or 4.1.12-3 on W2K or Debian on JDK1.4.1_01. tiles-documenation.war from nightly build actually works fine on all, though!
Sorry to bombard you with links but I also found Chuck Cavaness's review book on theserverside.com useful although it tails off a little at the end of the tiles chapter .. really looking forward to my copy which is on order, though! I'll try copying-and-pasting your code into the working 1.1 we have here to see if it will possibly work in a different environment and I'll post a reply a little later on.

It's even simpler -- it just displays a templated page. The mapping only needs an action and a forward (and path, of course.) I can get the article's example working, and I can even get my tiles definition working in the example app. But the example app uses Struts 1.0, with 1.0-style Tiles configuration. My own example, which I haven't fixed yet, uses 1.1. Have you been using 1.1? Thanks for your suggestions.

The general format of the <action...> for tiles is shown below: <action-mappings> <!-- Action mapping for profile form --> <action path="/profileInput" type="com.caraveltech.ex2.ProfileAction" name="profileForm" scope="request" input="tile.profileInput" validate="true"> <forward name="success" path="tile.profileOutput"/> </action> </action-mappings> Where "input" is the tiles definition to be displayed. This was from a lovely little training app by Wellie Chao that I found personally very useful when learning tiles obtained from IBM's site: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-strutstiles.html Apologies if you're already aware of this article ... it provides some really nice, simple worked examples of tiles with struts and comes with downloadable source and interestingly a nice coverage of "ant" - if you've not used that before also.

The JSP files I'm specifying do all exist. I'm currently figuring out how to configure tomcat logging (tomcat newbie too) but maybe the above info will tell you something? Thanks.
