You also need to add the following to struts.xml:
<result-types>
<result-type name="tiles"
class="org.apache.struts2.views.tiles.TilesResult" default="true"/>
</result-types>and then for some action foo:
<action name="foo" class="fooAction">
<result name="success" type="tiles">test</result>
</action>
Then point to /foo.action

Subject: Re: Problems getting started with Tiles2/S2
I just tried it. I added this to tiles.xml
<tiles-definitions>
<definition name="homeTiles" template="/pages/layout/layout.jsp">
<put name="title" value="Home"/>
<put name="header" value="/pages/layout/header.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="test" extends="homeTiles">
<put name="title" value="Test Title"/>
<put name="body" value="/pages/test.jsp" />
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>
And pointed my browser to http://localhost:8080/ProjTiles/pages/test . I
got error 404.
any idea
