You cannot use a definition in place of a URL. So your request to use /myapp/myapp.index does not work. If you want to use a definition as a URL, which is pretty handy since it eliminates extra pages and global definitions. You will need to create an action that takes a definition as a parameter or use the one supplied by the tiles implementation - DefinitionDispatcherAction - see the api. It lets you place a definition as a parameter and the action simply forwards to the definition. You then call the same action but with any tiles definition you want and it will render the definition.
Cal www.calandva.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard Hill Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 7:59 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Tiles setup question I'm setting up tiles with an example application and I'm getting blocked when trying to use Tiles layout names instead of the JSP filenames in the struts-config.xml. I'm hoping that someone on this list can point out what I'm doing wrong. I can access the application by explicitly typing in "index.jsp" in the url, but when I try a page with a link defined in my struts-config.xml global-forwards name="index" I get an error message: The requested resource (/myapp/myapp.index) is not available. My tomcat localhost.log file show that the Tiles definition factory gets loaded...what am I missing?
