I'm using 01/16 nightly build. My web server is Tomcat v4.1.18. Here is the output when I re-deploy the webapp:
[INFO] TilesRequestProcessor - -Tiles definition factory found for request processor ''.
[INFO] TilesRequestProcessor - -Tiles definition factory found for request processor '/knowledge'.
[INFO] PropertyMessageResources - -Initializing, config='org.apache.struts.util.LocalStrings', returnNull=true

[INFO] TilesPlugin - -Tiles definition factory loaded for module ''.
[INFO] TilesPlugin - -Tiles definition factory loaded for module '/knowledge'.
From my limited knowledge it looks like both Tiles definition factories are loaded. Yet, if I do not include the knowledge defs in the first factory load they are not seen correctly by the knowledge module.
I'm open for any suggestions.
Thanks, ajTreece

Which Struts version do you use ? Try with the latest nightly build or the 1.1b3.
Also, the log of the struts servlet should report a message for each module factory loaded. Check it to see if all is right or not.

Thanks Cedric for replying...
Here is what is happening and I'm not convinced that it is how it should work....
I have two modules A and B (for simplicity). They are defined in web.xml as follows:
<init-param>
<param-name>config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/config/struts-A-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>config/B</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/config/struts-B-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
I have (at this time) three tiles defs files... COMMON, A, and B. The COMMON defs handle the main page layout and other tiles common to all modules for this site. Tiles defs A and B are specific to that particular module. Here is how they are defined in each module xml file which is not working:
...struts-A-config.xml...
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
<set-property property="definitions-config"
value="/WEB-INF/config/tiles-COMMON-defs.xml,
/WEB-INF/config/tiles-A-defs.xml" />
<set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
</plug-in>
...struts-B-config.xml...
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
<set-property property="definitions-config"
value="/WEB-INF/config/tiles-COMMON-defs.xml,
/WEB-INF/config/tiles-B-defs.xml" />
<set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
</plug-in>
The only way I can get the tiles to display correctly is if I include B's tiles defs in the module A's plugin as follows:
...struts-A-config.xml...
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
<set-property property="definitions-config"
value="/WEB-INF/config/tiles-COMMON-defs.xml,
/WEB-INF/config/tiles-A-defs.xml,
/WEB-INF/config/tiles-B-defs.xml" />
<set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
</plug-in>
Also note, that module B's plugin must still include both the COMMON and B's tiles defs to work. It is almost acting like ALL of the tiles defs need to be initialized via first plugin accessed via web.xml. Is there something wrong or is that the way it is suppose to work?
Thanks again, aj

ajTreece wrote:Folks.... Just for grins, I tried something different.... I basically have two struts-config.xml files (one for each module) and in each I call the plugin to load the tiles factory required. Just to see what would happen I included ALL of my tiles-*-defs.xml files in the definitions-config property for each struts-*-config.xml and low and behold the desired tile layout displayed for each page.
Am I reading the books / docs incorrectly? I am assuming that each application module could have it's own unique and private tiles definitions files. What "seems" to be happening is that ALL of my tiles definitions need to be initialized via the plugin in the struts config file.
Yes, each module have its own definitions file when moduleAware="true".
Can you check the servlet logs to see if there is one or two factory loaded ?
Has anyone else had success using multiple application modules with individual tiles definitions?
Yes, me ;-). The tiles-documentation.war use modules with different tiles config file.

I'm trying to not be a pain, but I can't quite get this to work and could use some guidance... First off I'm using v1.1b3 (milestone build) with a tomcat v4.1.18 server. I've divided my app into two modules each having it's own struts config files. I've setup tiles so that I have tiles-def.xml that will contain definitions common to both modules (definition site.mainLayout) and a tiles-*-defs.xml file for each module.
My apologies for the numerous attachments. I've removed most of the xml code in the attachments, but left enough valid code to convey the problem. To break it down all I'm doing is displaying a home page for each module. Each module has an action servlet that returns a success forward and here is where the problem happens.
The homepage servlet forwards to "home.page" which extends "site.mainLayout" and also uses "home.page.layout" as the put value for the "mainbody". This works as expected.
The knowledge servlet forwards to "knowledge.home.page" which also extends "site.mainLayout" but uses "knowledge.home.page.layout" as the put value for the "mainbody". Here is the problem... "knowledge.home.page.layout" is not found -or- executed. It just leaves a blank area on the screen.
A couple of permeation's I have tried with success.... IF I change tiles-knowledge-defs.xml to use "home.page.layout" instead of "knowledge.home.page.layout" it works... It finds the "home.page.layout" definition defined in the tiles-homepage-defs.xml file and displays it. The other thing I tried was changing the struts-knowledge-config.xml so that the knowledge servlet forwards to "knowledge.home.page.layout". This works also so I'm assuming that the "knowledge.home.page.layout" definition IS getting initialized via the plugin, but for some reason is not being used when I leave things as they are in the attached xml files.
Any clues on what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, aj
