Help Needed: Struts-Tiles Configuration and/or Definition Error

[Hilton, Steve]

Hello every. I am new to this e-mail forum, so hopefully I am posting
this question correctly. I have been pulling my hair out over this
problem. I have looked in many books and at many examples on websites
and cannot see where I am doing anything wrong. I have listed the tiles
and struts configuration files for a simple example below. I can pull
examples, verbatim, off off websites and they get the exact same error
as sample programs I set up myself.

First of all, I am using Websphere 5.1.0. The problem is this....
Any time I try to reference a definition name in the tiles-defs.xml
file, any reference to that definition in the struts-config file always
produces a warning which states "Target page.default cannot be resolved
in the context of the following modules: /"

I have tried everything and cannot figure out why this will not work.
This really doesn't seem like it should be that hard. It just seems
like the struts-config file can never find anything in the tiles-defs
file.

To make this even more frustrating, I can create a welcome page like the
index.jsp listed below and that works fine.
index.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<insert:tiles definition="page.default">

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -- Steve


Here's the files for the sample application....

tiles-defs.xml
<tiles-definitions>
<definition name="page.default" path="/tiles/myLayout.jsp">
<put name="title" value ="My Title"/>
<put name="header" value="/tiles/header.jsp"/>
<put name="body" value="/tiles/body.jsp"/>
<put name="footer" value="/tiles/footer.jsp"/>
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>

Looks like you need to specify the TilesRequestProcessor in your
struts-config.xml.

Sorry, I should have shown that. I just stripped down the struts-config
file that I pasted in the e-mail. I do have the following code in the
struts-config file...

<controller
processorClass="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor"
bufferSize="4096" debug="0"/>

Ok, I noticed that you have moduleAware="true" in your plugin
configuration. Are you using modules? I'm not very familiar with
them myself, but will it work if you take the moduleAware attribute out?

I think maybe we are getting warm here. Look at the last 3 lines below
(at the very bottom of this e-mail)...
It says it can't find file '/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml'

I don't understand because the struts-config file has (by the way, same
error with or without the pathname property being set below)-

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
<set-property property="pathnames"
value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml" />
<set-property property="definitions-config"
value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml" />
<set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
</plug-in>
