> When i try to use Tiles in Portlet environment using the above versions, it does not work.  I have done some research and these are my findings.
> ( Step 1) CODE BASE - TILES PLUGIN 2.0.11.1
> In org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesRequestContext, this logic is such that it always calls dispatch(), if mask is not ending with ".ftl".
>  public void dispatch(String include) throws IOException {
>     	if (include.endsWith(mask)) {
>             // FIXME This way FreeMarker results still don't have a content-type!
>     	    include(include);
>         } else {
>             super.dispatch(include);
>         }
>     }
> ( Step 2) CODE BASE - TILES 2.0.6
> super.dispatch() in the above code calls org.apache.tiles.servlet.context.ServletTilesRequestContext.dispatch()
>     public void dispatch(String path) throws IOException {
>         if (response.isCommitted() || ServletUtil.isForceInclude(request)) {
>             include(path);
>         } else {
>             forward(path);
>         }
>     }
> Atleast above logic should have worked to call include(), if ServletUtil.isForceInclude(request) returned true.
> ServletUtil.isForceInclude(request) returns true if request.getAttribute(ServletUtil.FORCE_INCLUDE_ATTRIBUTE_NAME) = =true.
> ( Step 3) CODE BASE - STRUTS 2.0.11.1
> Call to org.apache.struts2.portlet.servlet.PortletServletRequestDispatcher.doForward() throws IllegalStateException.
> 	public void forward(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
> 		throw new IllegalStateException("Not allowed in a portlet");
> 		
> 	}
> My guess is, forward() should not be called when the result is of type TilesResult. 
> My guess is that  we need a fix in  Step 1.
> EITHER 
>         call super.include() instead of calling dispatch() 
> OR
>         request.setAttribute("org.apache.tiles.servlet.context.ServletTilesRequestContext.FORCE_INCLUDE", new Boolean(true)) before calling super.dispatch().
> Thanks,
