Tiles2 not starting

843840Oct 20 2008 — edited Oct 20 2008

Hi

I have an issue with migrating to Tiles 2.
I have previously used Struts-Tiles (Struts 1) and been successful in templating my web app

I am evaluating Struts 2 (2.0.11 to be precise) and cannot get Tiles 2 to work with the struts2 plugin

I have now gone to setting up a tiles 2 test in isolation from struts and I am attempting to use the tiles tutorial from tiles.apache.org

I am using jdk 1.6.05 and tomcat 6.0.16

I have the following jars available (as specified on the tiles.apache.org site):
tiles-core-2.0.4.jar
tiles-api-2.0.4.jar
tiles-jsp-2.0.4.jar
commons-beanutils-1.8.0.jar
commons-digester-1.8.jar
commons-logging-api-1.1.jar

I have set up tiles to start as a servlet

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>tiles</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.tiles.servlet.startup.TilesServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG</param-name>
            <param-value>/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

and this is my tiles-defs.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
       "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 2.0//EN"
       "http://tiles.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_2_0.dtd">

<tiles-definitions>
    
    <definition name="myapp.homepage" template="/layout/standard.jsp">
        <put-attribute name="title" value="Tiles Test" />
    </definition>

</tiles-definitions>

here is /layout/standard.jsp:

<%@ taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" %>
<html>
    <head>
        <title><tiles:getAsString name="title"/></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h2>Hello World!</h2>
    </body>
</html>

and here is the calling index.jsp

<%@ taglib uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles" %>
<tiles:insertDefinition name="myapp.homepage" />

and here is the output from tomcat:

any help would be appreciated: I have searched my tutorial book, the forums here and t'internet but no luck...
