Tiles Definition problem

[Bryce Fischer]

I'm going to describe my problem, then list the appropriate files below.

I'm new with tiles, and am trying to get a simple tiles-definition
working.

Here's what I did:

1. I create a file called tiles-def.xml, and put it in my WEB-INF
directory (listed below)

2. Make sure my definitiions-config property is set for the TilesPlugin.

3. While I'm in the struts-config, I set up a forward for my definition
(see below).

4. I have verified that the individual tiles and layouts do exist and
seem to be correct. 

typing: http://localhost:8080/testtiles

I end up getting a 404: The requested resource (/testtiles/default.layout) is not 
available.

Any  help is appreciated.
