As previously stated if you are writing directly to the response you need to
return null from the action. I am still not sure why you're using a tile
definition here.

As Jeremy said this is, however, probably a bad idea, considering that the
same outcome can be achieved in several different ways.

Using a JSON result will serialize your action to JSON automagically. You'd
use a "json" result (via the JSON plugin), not a tile. Or you could build the
JSON manually and configure a FreeMarker result.

Sure.

What example are you referring to? 

http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11/docs/ajax-tags.html#AjaxTags-autocompleterTag?

When making an Ajax request for a component like <s:autocompleter.../> it's
unlikely you'd want to return anything other than JSON. (Other components or
component libraries may want other formats like XML or whatever.) Unless your
tile definition is creating JSON it's not going to work, and it's unlikely
that would be the best way to generate the JSON anyway.

When you configure the package does your namespace have a leading "/" (slash)
character? If it doesn't this can lead to dispatching issues.
