Not sure if you found your fix or not, but just out of curiosity, after the action returns "success" where is it supposed to go? My first thought would be you'd get just a blank white page... are you perhaps pointing to another page inside the PreLoadViewTreeAction? Generally inside an <action-mapping /> you have <forward name="success" path="PreLoadViewTree.jsp"/> ?
If I understand it correctly, when you hit your welcome page and point to the action, the action picks up and completes what it needs to do then you map it to another jsp. Or perhaps this is what you're saying, is the action isn't picking up? Does forwarding to a plain jsp work? If it doesn't, then it's not to do with tiles. <action-mappings> <action path="/preLoadViewTree" type="com.xyz.app.actions.PreLoadViewTreeAction"> </action-mappings> My only hope any of this helped or gave you ideas on where to look.
