Hello all,
I am somewhat new to struts and I'm attempting to create an application that
uses tiles.
I obviously have something configured incorrectly because I get a 404 error
when attempting to display my page.
Here's what I've done so far:
1) Create a template jsp page called site.baseLayout.jsp located in my
jsp/common/layout directory
2) Create all the jsp files referenced in the tiles-defs.xml file in
their appropriate locations.
3) Create a tiles-defs.xml file located in my WEB-INF folder (contents
below)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 1.1//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd";>
<tiles-definitions>
<definition name="site.baseLayout"
path="jsp/common/layouts/baseLayout.jsp">
<put name="title" value="Base Title" />
<put name="header" value="jsp/common/header.jsp" />
<put name="menu" value="jsp/common/leftnav.jsp" />
<put name="footer" value="jsp/common/footer.jsp" />
<put name="body" value="jsp/common/body.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="home.page" extends="site.baseLayout">
<put name="title" value="Home Title" />
<put name="body" value="jsp/home/body.jsp" />
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
4) Modify my struts-config.xml file to load the tiles plug-in,
reference the tiles-defs.xml file and create an action mapping that refers
to one of my tile definitions (struts-config.xml below)
<struts-config>
<display-name><![CDATA[
Web Application
]]>
</display-name>
<description><![CDATA[
Handles all functionality for the website.
]]>
</description>
<!-- ========== Action Mapping Definitions ==============================
-->
<action-mappings>
<action
path="/flc"
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="home.page"
/>
</action-mappings>
<!-- ========== Controller Configuration ================================
-->
<controller pagePattern="$M$P" inputForward="true" />
<!-- ========== Plug Ins Configuration ==================================
-->
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
<set-property property="definitions-config"
value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml" />
<set-property property="definitions-parser-validate" value="true" />
<set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
</plug-in>
</struts-config>
When attempt to view http://localhost/flc through a browser I get a 404
error. What did I do wrong??
Thanks,
Darren
