Ok, maybe I'm approaching this from the wrong direction.
In my web.xml, I have an ActionServlet called "front-controller" mapped to
"/flc". Anything with the /flc URI will get routed to the front-controller.
Additionally my welcome-file-list specifies index.jsp as the default page.
I've set up tiles by defining the plug-in in my struts-config.xml file and
specifying "TilesRequestProcessor" as my controller class in struts-config.
I've created a tiles-def.xml file and set it as a property in the tiles
plug-in.
In my tiles-def.xml file, I've defined a layout called "home.page". All jsp
pages related to the layout have been created and reside where they are
supposed to. In my struts-config.xml file, I've created an action mapping as
follows:
<action-mappings>
<action
path="/home "
type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
parameter="home.page"
Apparently, I've done something wrong because I *expect* struts to see the
"/home" uri request come in, look up the mapping, and find that it is
supposed to display the definition of "home.page" i.e. the layout I've
defined. Instead I get the tomcat error "The requested resource
(/home/home.page) is not available."
What am I doing wrong?

In fact you configure it in web.xml (when you configure the
ActionServlet), and anyway the welcome file is treated as a different
entity. I really don't know why you cannot use an action as a homepage,
but that's it...

In fact you associated an action forward to a tile, but action forwards
are actions and they must be called as actions (usually using a ".do" at
the end).
You are using your Tiles definition name as a "forward" and it works (or
"it should work" :-) ) because of the TilesRequestProcessor.
I hope I cleared your doubts.
