I have struts2-tiles-plugin-2.2.3.1.jar as well in my package in which I can see the class org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener but not sure why it is throwing this error
This is my listener defined in my web.xml

	<filter>
		<filter-name>Struts2</filter-name>
		<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class>
	</filter>
	<filter-mapping>
		<filter-name>Struts2</filter-name>
		<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
	</filter-mapping>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener</listener-class>
</listener>

I was able to figure out that problem as I was only providing reference to these jars. Now I get a different exception

To use Tiles successfully, these 3 jars may also be required.

tiles-compat-2.1.4.jar
tiles-portlet-2.1.4.jar
tiles-servlet-2.1.4.jar

[rahulJ james]

I tried even after adding these jars.. I still get the same exception

[Nitin Surana]

here's a working struts2 tiles example.
