Tim, I tried what suggested, but still get the "The requested resource (/myapp/myapp.index) is not available." error.
Somethings missing...the Factory gets initialized from file '/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml' but it looks like the strut-config can't find or map to the tiles definitions. Any other suggestions? Do I need to specify a controller, or am I missing something in my config files? Thanks, Richard -----Original Message----- From: Tim Lucia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 5:42 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Tiles setup question The global forwards work for struts taglib tags, generally as the value of the name="" attribute. They do not export to the web server (servlet mapping, *.jsp, etc.) level. Thus, to access the forward you defined: <global-forwards> <forward name="index" path="/myapp.index"/> </global-forwards> You would say: <html:link forward="index">[Return to main menu]</html:link> However, the target of path cannot be a tile, it must be an action which forwards to the tile. [Is this true? I have never seen a tile as a global forward target] Here is an example: Your.jsp: <%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %> <html:link forward="tileTest">[return to main menu]</html:link> Your-struts-config.xml: <forward name="tileTest" path="/tileTest.do"/> <action path="/tileTest" type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" parameter=".tileTest"/> Your-tiles-def.xml: <definition name=".tileTest" extends="layout"/> Tim Lucia > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > 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.
