Integrating Tiles 2 by using Struts 2 Annotations


Hi Everybody,

I'm using Spring 3 and Struts 2.1.8 (with the convention plugin) in my
project and have tried to embed jsp's related to either of them by using
tiles 2.2.1.
With Spring it works out great, but not with Struts. I tried some
suggestions from the internet, but none result in success.

My Struts 2 action classes are controlled by annotations and are not
configured by the struts.xml. 
There is rather just the struts-default.xml included in struts2-core.jar
extended by some information to make it known the tiles result type.

<result-type name="tiles" class="org.apache.struts2.views.tiles.TilesResult"
/>

Additionally I also added the StrutsTilesListener to my web.xml. 
For example using the above described result type as an attribute for my
@Result Annotation 

@Results({
      @Result(name = "input", location = "/jsp/bLogin.jsp", type = "tiles"),
      @Result(name = "error", location = "/jsp/bLogin.jsp", type = "tiles"),
      @Result(name = "success", location = "/jsp/main.jsp", type = "tiles")
})
public class BLogin extends ActionSupport implements Preparable,
SessionAware {  
        ...

My tiles.xml looks (simplified) like

<tiles-definitions>
        <definition name="template" template="/jsp/myTemplate.jsp">
                <put-attribute name="title" value="myTest" />
                <put-attribute name="header" value="/jsp/header.jsp" />
                <put-attribute name="page" value="/jsp/defaultContentPage.jsp" 
/>
                <put-attribute name="footer" value="/jsp/footer.jsp" />
        </definition>
    <definition name="bLogin" extends="template">
        <put-attribute name="title" value="Login" />
        <put-attribute name="page" value="/jsp/bLogin.jsp"/>
    </definition>
</tiles-definitions>
        
Unfortunately this just results in nothing. I dont get any error, but my
Struts pages are always shown as a whole page and not as the body part of
the tiles template.

I think I haven't fully understand some of the related comcepts but I also
dont know where and how to find out more.
So, is there actually any solution to use tiles for my pages by
using/adapting just the annotations as well as the configurations in
tiles.xml and web.xml? 
And if so, how? :)

Best Regards.
