Hi,
I am getting the error
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path page.welcome does not start with a
"/" character " when trying to display a jsp.
The tile definition is given as an Action forward path. This is the first
page after login.
And I am not sure if the tiles plugin in struts-config.xml is configured
properly.
The following is the error log. Struts-config.xml, tiles-defs.xml are also
included.
HTTP Status 500 -
