Struts1.2 and Tiles

[Kev lam]

Could anyone tell me that how Tiles work in Struts1.2? I used Tiles in Struts1.1. Apperantly there are some changes in Struts1.2 about using tiles. In web.xml file, when I add a Tiles Plugin, WSAD tells me that invalid data for attribute "property". Could anyone give me a hint/

Thanks.

<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
  <set-property property="definitions-config" value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml" />
  <set-property property="definitions-debug" value="2" />
  <set-property property="definitions-parser-details" value="2" />
  <set-property property="definitions-parser-validate" value="true" />
</plug-in>

make sure you have (and tiles-def.xml DTD declaration is pointing to) the latest DTD (probably tiles-config_1_2.dtd). again, it's only a WSAD warning and can be probably ignored unless your console shows error(s).

Thanks for your reply. I thought the bad definition of Tiles plug-in caused Tiles not working in my app. Apprently it's not. I think the reason is using Multiple modules and Tiles.

I put the following code in the struts-config.xml and Struts can find my home page.

<action path="/samsHomePage" 
type="xxx.framework.controller.action.BaseAction" >
<forward name="success" path="samsHomePage">
</forward>
</action>  

But in one of the module config file,struts-config-samplemodule.xml, I put the similar code. The files cannot be found.

in struts-config-samplemodule.xml file,

<action path="/welcomeToSampleModule" 
type="xxx.samplemodule.controller.action.SampleModuleAction" >
<forward name="success" path="samsHomePage" contextRelative="true">
</forward>
</action>
 

Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong here? I really appreciate your help.

Thanks.

when you defined your tiles plugin, did you set the property of moduleAware? e.g. <set-property property="moduleAware" value="true"/>

Thanks Alan. You are right. I forgot setting it to module-aware mode. It works now.

I really appreciate your help.
