Ray, The tiles-jsp jar was an addition between the tiles release in S2.0.6 and Tile 2.0.3, the packaging script therefore didn't include it and I only raised it after I was testing 2.0.8 when the call for a vote on 2.0.8 had already gone out. It's been fixed for future releases, but by the time I raised the issue 2.0.8 was already packaged and ready to roll. I'm pretty sure the tests for Struts don't include any tiles jsp tests because, after all, tiles is tested by the tiles group, and we don't want to have the nightmare of developing tests for every library included in S2.
Then there was a bit of bad luck was that the 2.0.4 release was made the day after the 2.0.8 release was rolled, hence why 2.0.8 has Tiles 2.0.3 bundled. Hope this helps you understand why what happened was a little less than insanity and more some unfortunate circumstances:).

Note that this requires knowing the download url, because the current Tiles download page is for v2.0.4 only. The difference in the download url is only the version number. 2) The Tiles DTD seems to have changed. The 'put' tag is now 'put-attribute'. Of course, that is a Tiles issue, not a Struts issue. As a commentary, omitting an important and required dependency from a well-understood sister-project seems to argue some sort of insanity in the Struts-2 release process. (you say that you had previously raised the issue, yet they still failed to include it.) - Ray Clough Al Sutton-4 wrote: > > Grab the distribution from tiles.apache.org and copy the jsp jar into > your webapp. > > This is something I raised on the dev list and the jar will be part of > future builds. > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Ray Clough" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: user@struts.apache.org > Sent: 6/13/07 9:00 PM > Subject: Re: Struts 2.0.8 upgrade question > > > Nope.
