Hi,
I got the same error, "can't get definitions from the context". I have only one <f:view> tag in my jsp.
Here is how i setup the environment:
1.download struts 1.1 from http://jakarta.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi
2.copy the following jar files from $STRUTS_HOME/lib to $TOMCAT/common/lib
3.add the tiles servlet to deployment descriptor(web.xml)
4.set the tiles configuration file to /WEB-INF/tiles.xml in web.xml
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot!
