Using tile in struts2 - struts2

Question

I am following a tutorial of Tile in Struts2, but ran into the following error:

What do I do to fix this?

Answer 1

You add the library the error message says is missing; Slf4J.
It looks like you're trying to do dependency management by hand--IMO that is a Very Bad Idea. It makes upgrading difficult, deployment difficult, understanding the differences between compile, test, and deployment requirements difficult, and so on.
For example, why deploy a source jar, or junit?

Answer 2

if you get the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/LoggerFactory
at org.apache.tiles.web.startup.AbstractTilesListener.
add this dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId>
<artifactId>tiles-core</artifactId>
<version>2.2.2</version>
</dependency>
or add this jar :
slf4j-api-1.5.8.jar
jcl-over-slf4j-1.5.8.jar
