Re: dynamic template tag parameter values
The tiles tutorial have been moved into the tiles-doc.war file, under
'tutorial'.
I think the error is issue because the servlet has failed to start. Are you
sure you use a jaxp1.1 compliant parser ? Does Struts1.1 example runs with your
configuration ?

Re: dynamic template tag parameter values
Posted by Cedric Dumoulin <ce...@lifl.fr>.
Struts 1.1 is available from
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-struts/nightly/ .
Pick up the most recent files, usually at bottom of list.
Check if Struts1.1 example work. If not, check if you haven't multiple
instances of jaxp in your classpath. Especially, check tomcat/lib.
There is no known problems running Tiles and Struts1.0 or 1.1, so it certainly
comes from your configuration.

RE: dynamic template tag parameter values
Posted by David Boardman <db...@wagpaw.com>.
I have only run the struts 1.0 example, and have not yet downloaded struts
1.1(I could not find it at the Struts site). I downloaded the JAXP reference
implementation and placed jaxp.jar, crimson.jar and xalan.jar in my
classpath. After restarting Tomcat I got the same error message as before.
Thanks,
Dave
