Is your web.xml file referring to some struts artifact or Struts-Tiles
plugin? I use standalone Tiles and MyFaces without problems (app also
uses Struts, Tomahawk, Trinidad). Does your app otherwise use Struts,
and if so which version? If you use struts, but not the Struts2-Tiles
plugin, you can should the plugin jar.

Hi, I'm trying to use myFaces and Standalone Tiles together using maven2.
However, when I try to deploy the war file to Tomcat, I get a
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org.apache.struts.tiles.DefinitionsFactoryException (which surprises me as
I'm using the jars for the standalone version of tiles). Do any of you know
why it's looking for org.apache.struts.tiles.DefinitionsFactoryException
instead of org.apache.tiles.DefinitionsFactoryException?
