What version of struts are you using? I'm using 1.1 beta 1, and the forward to tiles definition feature works just fine. My action tags look just like what you specified.
You may need to check and make sure you have the proper settings in web.xml. In web.xml, you should have: <servlet-name>action</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.tiles.ActionComponentServlet</servlet-class > Also, in struts-config.xml, you should have: <controller processorClass="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor" nocache="true"/> (You can change the nocache if you want) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 5:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: tiles question Hi, Is it possible to call a tiles layout definition from an action tag in my struts-config.xml file? Here's the tag in my struts-config.xml: <action path="/resources" forward="site.resources.page"/> Here's the definition in my tiles-defs.xml: <definition name="site.resources.page" extends="site.mainLayout" > <put name="body" value="/tiles/resources.jsp" /> </definition> When I try to invoke this action forward I get an exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path site.services.page does not start with a "/" character The forward tag is expecting a value like '/resources.jsp', not a tiles layout. Is what I'm trying to do possible?
