Re: issues with tiles with struts 2

[Roberto Nunnari]

Hello shahab.

make sure you have all the tiles libraries:
struts2-tiles-plugin-2.0.8.jar
ties-api-2.0.3.jar
tiles-core-2.0.3.jar
tiles-jsp-2.0.3.jar

then make sure your action's package extends tiles-default

hope that helps.

Hi: I need some help with using tiles 2 with Struts 2.

I have configured tiles servlet in web.xml as follows - (i am using Spring
listener)
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>tiles</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>org.apache.tiles.web.startup.TilesServlet</servlet-class>

        <init-param>
                <param-name>
                        
org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG
                </param-name>
                <param-value>
                        /WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml
                </param-value>
        </init-param>
                <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
        </servlet>

During start up, tiles-defs.xml is being read. However, when I see a blank

screen when the page is rendered. The jsp has the following - <%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"; prefix="tiles" %>

<tiles:insertDefinition name="test.definition" />

(test.definition is defined in tiles-defs.xmls as follows -
  <definition name="test.definition" template="/layout.jsp">
      <put-attribute name="title"  value="This is the title."/>
      <put-attribute name="header" value="/header.jsp"/>
      <put-attribute name="body"   value="/body.jsp"/>
  </definition>

I have layout.jsp, header.jsp and body.jsp in the same directory where the
jsp is.

(In a pdf book from InfoQ, the author says that, the result type of an
action should be stated as "tiles". i tried that, but i got the following
error -
There is no result type defined for type 'tiles')

Please help.
