Tiles work with starting dots. I use it that way myself. I think I picked up that suggestion from Ted's book "Struts In Action".
What is the exact URL you are using? Do regular non-tiles actions work for your webapp?

One thing to try might be to use tile names that does not start with a dot. I have done things that look pretty similar but the tilenames was things like output.page1. The parsing might get confused or by the starting '.' My actions look like: <action path="/tiles_page1_in" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter="output.page1" /> Regards At 15:26 2003-11-03 -0600, you wrote: >I'm ripping my hair out here, guys ... what's going on with my config?!
