I came across two flaws in the documentation (that cost me an hour), and
I'm not sure how/who to ask to be able to commit fixes, so here they are:
On page: http://tiles.apache.org/tutorial/basic/pages.html
Under "create definition"
1) the web.xml snippet references
"<servlet-class>org.apache.tiles.servlet.TilesServlet</servlet-class>"
which does not appear to exist. I pulled the source and found a
TilesServlet under org.apache.tiles.web.startup.TilesServlet. I
replaced with this new package, and it seemed to work.
2) the /WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml example seems to need
<tiles-definitions>'s wrapping the <definition>.
