Bellow is code I used to activate the menu based on the notes in stuts-menu .... and it does not activate (Struts 1.1 and Tomcat4 and tiles.) I have a very simple menu and a displayer JSP for test. And the WAR sample runs fine, but I think that is Struts 1.0. I also had to create new struts-menu.jar to get it to use the new location for collections and digester. Tiles work just fine. (There was a Xalan vs JAXp issue I faced before on a diferent issue, could that be it?)
It says it loads... but nothing displays. What should I look at? Anyone have the menu working in Struts 1.1 w/ Tiles? (I love tiles, but do not like the menu in tiles, I like this one).
