Hi,

I want to use the validwhen features of struts 1.2 so I downloaded the test distribution and dropped it in the lib directory overwriting struts1.1.

When I restart the ap server (weblogic 8.1) I get a stacktrace as follows:

2004-04-30 12:36:51,632|ERROR|Can't create Tiles definition factory for module ''.

What could be the cause of this? Are there any refactors that need to take place before struts 1.1 tiles-def.xml is compatible with struts1.2?
