You have gone to your first action, done some work, then return the mainLayout tile. The tile then starts building the response based on layout2.jsp. It includes the pages you have in the list. showBorrowerDemographics.do?detail=summary is calling an action and the result is included in the page.
When the error occurs, it redirects to the applicationFailure tile, and it is included in the mainLayout.
Perhaps you either need to change your applicationFailure tile so it returns a tile page instead of a complete web page. Or have showPaymentHistory throw a different exception which gets caught and returns a tile. If your main action failed it would want to throw the exception and have a whole page constructed and returned, but a tile should return a simple tile not a whole page.

I'm using tiles, and some of the tiles are summary pages. For instance a payment summary, it just shows the date and the amount. While the detail page shows how the payment was applied (how much to interest etc.)
So my tiles definition looks like:
<definition name="mainLayout" path="/layout/layout2.jsp">
<put name="title" value="This is a title" />
<putList name="headerList">
<add value="/errorMessages.jsp"/>
<add value="/successMessages.jsp"/>
<add value="/showMessages.do"/> </putList>
<putList name="leftSideList">
<add value="/showBorrowerDemographics.do?detail=summary"/>
<add value="/showSwiftPay.do"/>
<add value="/showPaymentHistory.do?detail=summary"/>
</putList>
<putList name="centerList">
<add value="/layout/body.jsp"/>
</putList>
<putList name="rightSideList">
<add value="/resources.jsp"/>
<add value="/layout/links.jsp"/> <add value="/showDeferments.do"/> <add value="/showForebearances.do"/>
</putList>
<putList name="footerList">
<add value="/layout/footer.jsp"/>
</putList>
</definition>
Okay, this works... now let's say /showPaymentHistory.do encounters something catastrophic, like DB down etc. So, it throws a BusinessObjectException. Cool.. that works....
Now, I've never used the exception handling stuff in struts-config.xml.... so here's the definition:
<exception type="com.sssc.csr.businessObjects.BusinessObjectExeception" key="errors.applicationFailure" handler="com.sssc.csr.web.exceptionHandlers.BusinessObjectExceptionHandler" path="/applicationFailure.do">
</exception>
And the handler says: LogWrapper.logAlert( "Business Object Exception: " + ex.getMessage()); ActionForward forward = mapping.findForward( "applicationFailure"); return forward; and the forward has redirect = true in the struts-config.xml
So..... I would expect that even though the summary pagelet is throwing the exception, that it would forward to the applicationFailure tiles definition. What I didn't expect was for the entire page to end up nested inside the original page being requested. Shouldn't redirect=true do what I expect with regards to tiles? and pop to a new tiles definition rather then include it?
