TilesContainer Not Intialized Problem
Hi All,
I'm trying to apply Tiles in my Struts application for the first time
and I'm getting this error: "javax.servlet.ServletException:
TilesContainer not initialized" when I execute test.jsp. I'm using
Struts 1.3 and Tiles 2.1.3. Relevant code snippets of various files
are shown below.
I was wondering if anyone could help me out here . . .
Thanks,
Rob

My Bad Andy,
You also need the configuration for the stdout appender. Here is what I use...
# configuration for the console appender
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%-5p [%d] (%c:%L) - %m%n

Brian

I replaced the line as you suggested and restarted Tomcat but unfortunately

Just add ", stdout" to the top line in your log4j.properties file.
Should look like...
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, testAppender, stdout
