I've tried to use the shale-framework-1.0.4.zip file and have hit a problem
that I was wondering if anyone could help me with?
I've developed a very simple 2 page JSF application using Workshop v3.2.1
which just allows you to move from the first to the second pages using a
commandLinks action to trigger a JSF navigation. This has all the "common"
JARs as per the shale-framework-1.0.4.zip and works fine. However when I
added in the shale-*-1.0.4.jar's, spring-*1.2.8.jar's and
tiles-core-2.0-468346-SNAPSHOT.jar and make some config file changes to
introduce Tiles behaviour I start to get problems.
To my faces-config.xml I added
<view-handler>org.apache.shale.tiles.TilesViewHandler</view-handler>
To my web.xml file I added a context parameter pointing to my new tiles.xml
file
<context-param>
<param-name>tiles-definitions</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/tiles.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
and added an additional servlet
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Tiles Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.tiles.servlet.TilesServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
the existing (faces) servlet had the load-on-startup value changed to 2
(from 1) at this point.
I created a tiles.xml file (within the WEB-INF folder) that just defines a
header, menu, content format for these same 2 pages (with the header being
made up of 3 sub-parts a banner, breadcrumb trail and heading).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/tiles-config.dtd";>
<tiles-definitions>
<!--
These are the general tile layouts that will be used by every page
-->
<definition name="header" path="/tiles/header.jsp">
<put name="banner" value="/pages/exampleBanner.jsp" />
<put name="breadcrumb" value="/pages/exampleBreadcrumb.jsp" />
<put name="headerTitle" value="/pages/exampleHeader.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="menu" path="/tiles/menu.jsp">
<put name="menuDetail" value="/pages/exampleMenu.jsp" />
</definition>
<!--
These are the definitions for each page
-->
<definition name="page1" path="/tiles/headerMenuContent.jsp">
<put name="header" value="header"/>
<put name="menu" value="menu"/>
<put name="content" value="page1Content"/>
</definition>
<definition name="page1Content" path="/tiles/content.jsp" >
<put name="contentContent" value="/pages/standardPage.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="page2" path="/tiles/headerMenuContent.jsp">
<put name="header" value="header"/>
<put name="menu" value="menu"/>
<put name="content" value="page2Content"/>
</definition>
<definition name="page2Content" path="/tiles/content.jsp" >
<put name="contentContent" value="/pages/standardPage2.jsp" />
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
I also added in the necessary menu, header, content and headerMenuContent
JSPs into the tiles folder (at the same level as the pages folder) and the
example*** JSPs into the pages folder.
The application builds within Workshop OK but when I try and run it (Tomcat
v5.5) I get the following output in the console...

saveExceptionMessage
WARNING: Caught exception when initializing definitions factory
I assume this is complaining about the format of my tiles.xml file but I
don't know how to correct it. Sorry to be posting such basic questions but
I am very new to this area.
Regards,
Dave
