I tried using the wildcard instructions. The project compiles and the server
starts, so I assume that the definitions are available. However, Struts2
doesn't seem to see them. This is the case whether I use "classpath:" or not.
When I run in debug mode, I see that the action class is returning "SUCCESS",
but then throwing an exception in the interceptor when trying to find its next
destination (which is defined as a tiles destination.)
Here is my configuration...

As far as the war goes, there is another webapp that serves up common
components which I could give other apps access to. I was thinking maybe I
could access the configuration as a uri from that webapp.
I'm going to try using Ant to pull common components into the application from
a template project (pre-deployment) and then have tiles/struts reference them
locally. That should work.

The easiest way to load a definition file from the classpath is using this:
http://tiles.apache.org/2.1/framework/tutorial/wildcard-configuration.html
However I don't understand by "loading definitions from another war
file on the classpath". Do you want to reference an external file?
