Struts mapping failing on Tomcat 8

I get the following stacktrace when I deploy a war. However, when I manually explode and deploy it, everything works fine.

Exception stacktrace sample:

Struts definition: (struts-oldapps.xml)

<action name="GenericOverview" class="com.myapp.oldapps.GenericOverview" method="display">
            <result name="success" type="tiles">GenericOverview</result>
            <result name="kyc" type="tiles">GenericOverview</result>
            <result name="input" type="tiles">GenericOverview</result>
            <result name="error" type="tiles">BlockingError</result>
        </action>

Tiles definition: (tiles-defs-oldapps.xml)

<definition name="GenericOverview">        
        <put-attribute name="Body" value="/jsp/app/generic/GenericOverview.jsp" />
    </definition>

I'm using Struts version 2.3.35 and tiles 2.2.2

Good question!!! I guess you need to specify the definition config for this as below :

Add below part in gradle (war task)

from ( 'src/main/application/META-INF' ) { include '**/*.xml' into 'META-INF' } This will copy application.xml and other xml file kept in META-INF into parent META-INF in WAR. If location of META-INF is different then the location will change in the task above.

Additionally for struts based application add below in web.xml and run the war job

    <context-param>
       <param-name>org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG</param-name>
       <param-value>
         /WEB-INF/classes/tiles-defs.xml,
         ........
       </param-value>
    </context-param>

Hope this helps!!!
