Tiles problem with / in action forward since struts 1.1

[Lukas Österreicher <lu...@inode.at>]

Hello

In latest revisions of struts it seemes to be required to have an action forward
start with  a /. This is ok under normal situations, however, it seemes to cause
troubles with tiles, at least for me.

When forwarding to a tile defind in the xml configureation file for tiles
it seemes to be required to forward to a location not starting with / or
it won't find the tile.

Are you aware of this and can confirm it?

Some people to deem to try to bypass this by setting the
referrer url in another parameter rather then the action forward,
but I think this not a good solution, especially if you need many
forward locations.

Do you know a solution for this?

Lukas,

How are you trying to 'forward' to your tile?  Certain logic:tags don't
foward to tiles - it's in their documentation.  Please provide examples of
your <forward> tags, relevant <action .../> tags, and how you are trying to
'forward' to it.

Regards,
David
