REPOST - Using tiles mappings in global forwards

["White, Joshua A (CASD, IT)" <Jo...@thehartford.com>]

If the "forward" attribute of the action element can take both an actual
path or a tiles definition to forward to, shouldn't the global forwards
element have similar functionality?

In Chuck Cavaness's book (Programming Jakarta Struts), he attempts to do
this on page 347.  I just can't get it to work.  Is this perhaps
functionality which is now broken?

I have successfully set up tiles using a tiles-def.xml file.  In this file,
I have set up a definition for "my.default".

I have been successfully able to view this layout by inserting the following
code into a jsp:
	<%@ taglib uri="struts-html" prefix="html"%>
	<%@ taglib uri="struts-bean" prefix="bean"%>
	<%@ taglib uri="struts-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>
	<tiles:insert definition="my.default"/>

Again, this works fine.  I have been attempting to declare a global forward
mapping for the same layout:
    <global-forwards>
        <forward name="welcome" path="my.default" redirect="false"/>
    </global-forwards>

I have inserted the following code into a jsp file to test the forwards:
	<%@ taglib uri="struts-logic" prefix="logic"%>
	<logic:forward name="welcome"/>

When I hit the page containing this code, Tomcat gives me a 404 ("The
requested resource (/myapp/my.default) is not available.").  Whats happening
here?

Try changing the path to /WEB-INF/pages/my.default or similar.  It may be
that the mappings pointer to where your my.default resides is not right, so
have a check on those as well.

Cheers
