Struts 2 and Tiles with Netbeans - struts2

Question

I am trying get Struts 2 and Tiles to work and I am using netbeans 7.1 as my IDE. Most of the examples are built on eclipse and I can seem to find a working example , So i tried to follow a tutorial And tried to get it sorted. Now I have the proeject runningwell and I can access individual tiles by url.
ie.
http://localhost:8088/sample2/example/body.jsp
But the action to mapping doesnt seem to work.
below are the files :
struts.xml = http://pastebin.com/5uWLSXWj
example.xml = http://pastebin.com/UQh68YNE
web.xml = http://pastebin.com/ZgVXfW1E
LinkAction.Java = http://pastebin.com/8cvKdmai
Appreciate any guidance , and links to netbeans and struts 2 example code.

Answer 1

<package name="example" namespace="/example" extends="struts-default">
Problem with Struts.xml file. You are loading two <package>s with same configuration.
Thats why one package is loading(with plain JSP result), and another is silently dropped (with Tiles results.) Try combining them into one, like this :
<struts>
<package name="example" namespace="/example" extends="struts-default">
<result-types>
<result-type name="tiles" class="org.apache.struts2.views.tiles.TilesResult" />
</result-types>
<action name="HelloWorld" class="example.HelloWorld">
<result>/example/HelloWorld.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="Body" class="example.HelloWorld">
<result>/example/body.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="*Link" method="{1}" class="example.LinkAction">
<result name="welcome" type="tiles">welcome</result>
<result name="friends" type="tiles">friends</result>
<result name="office" type="tiles">office</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts>
