StrutsChain/Tiles

Struts Chain and Tiles

• Configure the ComposableRequestProcessor to use the chain config file from Tiles

web.xml

  <!-- Standard Action Servlet Configuration -->
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>config</param-name>
      <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>chainConfig</param-name>
        <param-value>org/apache/struts/tiles/chain-config.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
 </servlet>

• DO NOT use the TilesRequestProcessor as it is based on the (Struts 1.2) RequestProcessor which does not recognize the 'catalog' and 'command' action mapping attributes.

                ***** REMOVE THIS FROM struts-config.xml *****

<!-- ============================================= Controller Configuration -->

    <controller
       processorClass="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor"/>

                ***** REMOVE THIS FROM struts-config.xml *****

• From here, the usual tiles-config.xml and struts-config.xml setup should work, see: http://struts.apache.org/struts-tiles
