using tiles in struts 1.1b ?

[es...@globalsign.net]

Hi all,

I have downloaded the Struts 1.1b, and I'm going through the tutorial in the
example application 'struts-tiles', which doesn't seem to be updated to the
version 1.1b of Struts.
I've got most things working, but now I'm stuck on 6.6 Definitions as
Forward.

Question:
How do I get my Struts action to forward to a tile definition instead of an
action ?

I get the following message:

'Path forward.example.success.page' does not start with a "/" character'

and if I add the "/", then it will look for that action (in the
strust-config.xml) which then of course doesn't exist ...how do I get it to
look in the tiles-config.xml ?

Thanks in advance,

Esther

See the other thread entitled "Struts 1.1 + Tiles" -- if you've just 
subscribed, try searching the archives for it.  Cedric (the Tiles 
maintainer) just posted a nice reply to my question :-)
