Simple struts question.

["Bullard, James" <JB...@AR.SONY.COM>]

A couple tiles questions. 

1.) Is there any way to have a global-forward forward to a tile, It always
tells me that such a path does not exist, meaning that rather than recognize
the page as tile def it thinks it is a page. 

2.) I am using the same forms for editing and creating new entity instances.
These happen in different tiles, I want to have my local action forward to
the tile which called the action in the case of success or failure. Is this
possible (struts 1.1) 

3.) How can I do a context switch from within action code to forward to a
different context (preferably without writing extra action elements in my
struts-admin.xml config file) 

Thanks in advance , j

Hmm not sure what is wrong. You could try adding contextRelative="true" 
to the global forward. We have some global forwards that look like:

<forward name="select.company.global" path="select.company.page" 
contextRelative="true"/>

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but if you set up two tiles 
definitions, I'm not sure how there would be a problem. I might be 
missing where the problem is.

Not sure about that.

Side note... using SiteMesh instead of tiles will make all of this 
easier. You won't have to make a bunch of tile defiitions, you simple 
forward to jsps. Based on the url pattern (or other ways) you then have 
the page decorated for you. I threw up a simple example here
