Struts not detecting tiles based forwards
Hi,
I am new to struts and tiles; would appreciate your help in solving this issue:
I am using struts along with the tiles plugin in my application. When i try to access a URL (http://localhost:8080/mysite/index.do) mapped to a tiles forward, i am getting the following exception.
javax.servlet.ServletException: Path forum.index does not start with a"/" character
org.apache.struts.chain.ComposableRequestProcessor.process(ComposableRequestProcessor.java:283)
org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1858)
org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:446)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:689)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
The following is an extract from my struts-config.xml
<action-mappings>
<action path="/index"forward="forum.index" />
</action-mappings>
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
<set-property property="definitions-config" value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml" />
<set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
</plug-in>
And the forward 'forum.index' is defined in my tiles-defs.xml as
<definition name="forum.index" extends="forum.default">
<put name="content" value="/WEB-INF/tiles/pages/index.jsp" />
<put name="pagename" value="Home" />
</definition>
The definition 'forum.default' is not shown, but is present in the tiles-defs.xml...
Could you please tell me what i am doing wrong?
This technique was working when i was using NetBeans 5.5.. But now after porting the application to Eclipse + WTP + Tomcat 5.5, i am getting this error.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Rakesh TA

Hi,
could somebody explain what the dot between forum.index is used for?
<definition name="forum.index"
and also, some tutorial using
><action path="/index" parameter="layout"/>
and here use
<action path="/index" forward="forum.index"/>
Can somebody tell me when to use parameter and when to use forward?
Thanks a lot.
