struts 1.3.8 and tiles framework

[krizel clemente]

Hello,

im a newbie with struts framework and i want to use version 1.3.8 and intergrate with tiles.

this is my action map in the struts-config.xml

<action
            path="/Retrieve"
            name="UpdateForm"
            scope="request"
            type="com.ui.action.RetrieveAction">
            <forward name="success" path="Update.page"/>
        </action>
 

and here is my definitionn in tiles-def.xml:

<definition name="base.layout" path="/jsp/BaseLayout.jsp">
<put name="title" value="" />
<put name="header" value="/jsp/Header.jsp" />
<put name="body" value="" />
<put name="footer" value="/jsp/Footer.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="Update.page" extends="base.layout">
<put name="title" value="Update" />
<put name="body" value="/jsp/Update.jsp" />
</definition>

in struts version 1.1 it works perfectly but with 1.3.8 the page can't be displayed..

Does anyone know how to work with tiles in version 1.3.8?

I'm currently using 1.2.9 which I believe is the same -- the code fragments you posted looks correct to me. Do you have the TilesPlugin / TilesRequestProcessor registration in your struts-config.xml? What error(s) are you getting? Good luck...

I'm trying Struts 1.3.8 with Tomcat 5.5, java 1.4.1
When i try to add the plug-in in the struts-config.xml file

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

the application is not start and i got the same message : servlet action not avilable.
