Does anyone know how ForwardAction works with tiles?

I have a jsp page that define a link to call a forward action, the forward
suppose to direct to another jsp page define in tiles. But I got the
following error.

javax.servlet.ServletException: Path site.login.page does not start with a
"/" character

Anyone has a clue?

--struts-config.xml
<action   path="/gologin"
              name="loginForm"
              input="/index.jsp"
              parameter="site.login.page" <!-- here is the page I want to
go -->
              type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction"
              scope="request"
              validate="false">
</action>

--tiles-defs.xml
<definition name="site.mainLayout" path="/layouts/classicLayout.jsp">
   <put name="title"  value="My Project" />
   <put name="header" value="/components/header.jsp" />
   <put name="menu"   value="site.menu.bar" />
   <put name="footer" value="/components/footer.jsp" />
   <put name="body"   value="CHANGE ME" />
</definition>
...
<!-- the page defines here -->
<definition name="site.login.page" extends="site.mainLayout" >
   <put name="title"  value="Login" />
   <put name="body"   value="/security/loginBody.jsp" />
</definition>

--one of jsp page, I define a link to call the forward action
<html:link page="/action/gologin">
<bean:message key="index.link.login"/>
</html:link>

Yes!  I cracked this nut just tonight.  You don't want ForwardAction, 
you want <digs-through-config/> 
org.apache.struts.tiles.actions.NoOpAction.  You've got to use the 
_tiles_ actions if you want to forward to definitions.  The standard 
Struts ones don't seem to work.  If someone knows another way, please 
let us know!  I have a bad feeling about how this is going to work with 
the Validator framework ... or NOT work rather.  I say that because you 
have to extend Validator forms in order for that stuff to "work" - at 
least, the way I understand it you do.

Regards,

Eddie
