It is Struts 2 that strips the URL. In your case, Tiles is called only
when the definition:
myapp.tile{1}.titleFred Title
is called. The substitution of {1} is done by Struts 2 (because it is
a Struts result). But the matching with the wildcard-based definition
is done by Tiles.
The definition is created at runtime once if it is not present (it
will be reused if it has been already created).

Probably it was for Tiles 2.0, can you link it?

First Struts 2 matches the URL and substitutes in the result.
Then Tiles 2 is called, matches the definition and substitute the
placeholders in attributes and template.

Just as a reminder, for questions about the development of Struts
contact the Struts developers mailing list:
