Hi Leonard, For your question, < When it forwards to a tile what should happen and is there any linkage you can think I may be missing. > You can associate a controller(Java code or Action) to your tile, which will run immediately before your Tile JSP page and put some debug statements to see if the tile is processed. Regarding missing links, I don't think of any. But I see index_jsp in the Exception stack. So, I am guessing that you are invoking index.jsp, which is having a Link to action /skiptomain. I don't quite understand the flow of your application.
So, I am posting this email to Struts user mailing list so that someone can understand your questions and hopefully give some ideas.
