Eric, If the page isn't accessed through a struts action, you need to insert the tiles definition before your tiles:insert commands like so: <tiles:insert definition="track.default"/>

I've been able to use tiles for most of my pages, but how can I use it for an error page, like 404.jsp or 500.jsp? For my normal pages, I've declared them in my tiles-config.xml and then the JSP is quite simple, and that is all working fine. Since I need to define my error pages in my web.xml, that has no knowledge of tiles or even struts, so the error page must be complete without a tiles definition. How can I specify in the actually JSP to reference/extends the track.default definition? <tiles-definitions> <definition name="track.default" path="/tiles/defaultLayout.jsp"> <put name="titleKey" /> <put name="header" value="/common/header.jsp"/> <put name="body" /> <put name="nav" value="/common/nav.jsp"/> <put name="footer" value="/common/footer.jsp"/> </definition> </tiles-definitions> I tried a 404.jsp like this: <%@ page language="java"%> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %> <tiles:insert beanName="track.default" beanScope="request"> <put name="titleKey" value="title.404"/> <put name="body"> 404 </put> </tiles:insert> But I'm getting this Exception: <Oct 10, 2003 10:34:14 AM EDT> <Error> <HTTP> <[WebAppServletContext(244212,track,/track)] Root cause of ServletException javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Error - Tag Insert : No value defined for bean 'track.default' with property 'null' in scope 'request'. at org.apache.struts.taglib.tiles.InsertTag.processBean(InsertTag.java:667) at org.apache.struts.taglib.tiles.InsertTag.createTagHandler(InsertTag.java:491 ) at org.apache.struts.taglib.tiles.InsertTag.doStartTag(InsertTag.java:451) at jsp_servlet.__404._jspService(__404.java:106) I'm confused as where to look next. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
