Hi,
When you hit a page through a struts action, the action is executed, then the request is forwarded to the associated page or tiles. The jsp spec specify that when you do a forward, the requestURI is change accordingly. This is why you get the URL of the tiles layout instead of the action URL.
In fact, Tiles framework try to respect the struts way by doing forward (instead of include) as long as it is possible.
A trick is to let think the tiles request processor that it should do an include instead of a forward. For that, you should put an empty tileContext in the request.
I join an action that do exactly that. You should use this action with the struts action used to associate an URL to a tiles definition defining a page. You should avoid to use it with action used as included tiles.
<action path="/showRequestURI"
type="org.apache.struts.webapp.tiles.test.NoForward">
<forward name="success" path="test.action.noforward"/>
</action>Hope this help,

The reason is that tiles mess up with the request url. Pager rely on
<%= request.getRequestURI() %> to build the url for next page. Tiles always point the request URI to be the layout.jsp.
Before the url for next page is: SearchResult.jsp?pager.offset=10, now it is: tiles/layout/mainLayout.jsp?pager.offset=10
That's why it's not working. What should I do?
Tiles is nice, but did cause so many troubles.

Have trouble to use tiles with pager tag lib (from jsptags.com). Anyone uses this two together? Is there a way to fix it? Thanks.

The same code is working inside a jsp page.
