Dear all,

I am trying to deploy a very simple Struts 1.3 application on Tomcat 5.5.20, windows 2000 environment. I am trying to employ the use of Tiles. However, whenever I use the Plugin for Tiles in my struts-config.xml, I get the following error:

When I comment-out the Tiles plug-in, the page appears to render just fine. Based on some advise I got off of google.com, I made changes to my chain-config.xml, made the appropriate changes to the web.xml, but I am still getting the error. I have include the web.xml, struts-config.xml, tiles-def.xml, and calling JSP code below. Please advise.

You could try putting the TLD files under your WEB-INF folder and give the path for the TLD file in the URI as = "/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.def".

From the sources off the Struts Website, I was told to remove the .tld declarations in the web.xml.

But: Based on your advice, I did add the declarations to the web.xml and the files, *.tld, to the WEB-INF directory. No dice.
