Thanks David, The multiconfig eliminates the error message. Another question is, the <html:link> is screwed up. In traditional webpages, we've got, Header, Navbar, Body, maybe Footer. The <html:link>s on the Navbar adds the context in their href locations. EG, original link in root context: <a href="/jsppages/viewList.jsp"> now, the link after module switching: <a href="/newModule/jsppages/viewList.jsp">
What can I do about this? Thanks a lot really.

You can specify multiples of each type of file for each module, so each module is free to reference a shared config file. To reference more than one struts-config.xml, simply list them in the web.xml file separated by commas: <init-param> <param-name>config/myModule</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/shared_config.xml,/WEB-INF/myModule_config.xml</pa ram- value> </init-param> To reference more than one tile definition file, you can do the same thing in the myModule-config.xml file when you initialize the tiles plugin... <set-property property="definitions-config" value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs/shared_defs.xml, /WEB-INF/tiles-defs/myModule_defs.xml" /> Note, however, that you do NOT want to initiaize the tiles plugin in the shared config file, or it will not reinitialize it from your module file with your module definitions! --David David Hibbs, ACS Staff Programmer / Analyst Distributed Applications Development and Support American National Insurance Company > -----Original Message----- > From: Patrick Cheng [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 1:27 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: Modules with Tiles Problem > > > HI All, > I found a way to get it working. > > <%org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.selectModule("",request, > applicatio > n);%> > <html:form action="/Layout.do"> > > I have to do this for every html:form item. > This works, but it is ugly.
