Struts with Tiles in the root context

Elliot Long Tue, 07 Dec 2004 10:11:08 -0800

I am having an odd problem. I've recently discovered how to setup virtual hosts in tomcat so that i can use something like "local.myapp.com" instead of "localhost/myapp". I've done this with two apps. One works fine no problems, but the other (which uses Struts with Tiles) comes up with a persistent error whenever a template is applied, but only when it is referenced as the root context. So I made a new template and scaled it down to the minimum and the problem remains. Here are the relevant settings:

In server.xml: <Engine name="Catalina" defaultHost="localhost" debug="0"> <Host name="local.synchro.com" appBase="webapps"> <Context path="" reloadable="true" docBase="C:\Development\StartWebsite" workDir="C:\Development\StartWebsite\work" /> <Context path="/synchro" reloadable="true" docBase="C:\Development\StartWebsite" workDir="C:\Development\StartWebsite\work" /> </Host> </Engine>

The tiles definition in tiles-defs.xml:

<definition name="synchro.narf" path="/Templates/narf.jsp">
   <put name="title" type="string">def title</put>
</definition>

/Templates/narf.jsp:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles"%>
<html:html>
<head>
<title><tiles:insert attribute="title"/></title>
</head>
<body>
Hello
</body>
</html:html>

narfPage.jsp:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html"%>
<tiles:insert definition="synchro.narf">
<tiles:put name="title" type="string">newer title</tiles:put>
</tiles:insert>

Now, if i access this page via http://local.synchro.com/synchro/narfPage.jsp it comes up as expected, no problems. However, if i try to access it through http://local.synchro.com/narfPage.jsp it comes up with: [ServletException in:/Templates/narf.jsp] null'

I'm at a complete loss. Any ideas?
