RE: tiles:include definition= error with jdeveloper

[Stephen Gissendaner <sg...@eplinc.com>]

Cedric,

Thank you for your reply. I went to
http://www.lifl.fr/~dumoulin/tiles/doc/download.html and downloaded the zip
file. I then extracted the tiles.tlb (7.06kb) to my /WEB-INF directory and
the tiles.jar file to replace my existing tiles.jar file in my classpath. I
did not see any change in behavior. I also took Jeff's advice and tried
changing my <component-definitions> to <components-defintions> with no
change.

Did I get the wrong binaries? I am afraid that I am a newbie and may not
know which is your site.

  Hi Stephen,

  Same reply as in the mailing-list ;-). Thanks to make me discovered this
bug.
  I discover a bug preventing Tiles to run with the latest versions of
commons-*.jar. It is no corrected.
  Maybe you can download latest Tiles distribution from original sited (not
from
Struts, need 1 day to be updated) and try again. If you still have some
trouble,
let me know.
