FYI, got really curious, so I pulled out my test web app, plugged in your
definitions, created /common/layouts/baseLayout.jsp, and everything worked as
expected. Here's the log:
2003-11-03 16:27:20,637 INFO TilesRequestProcessor.java
tiles.TilesRequestProcessor Tiles definition factory found for request processor
''.
2003-11-03 16:27:20,652 DEBUG TilesRequestProcessor.java

in struts-config:
<action path="/tilestest"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter=".baseLayout"/>
...
<plug-in
className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin">
<set-property
property="definitions-config"
value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml"/>
</plug-in>
I didn't have a <controller> element.
My test web-app didn't make use of Tiles before, I just plugged it in now.
