I'm using struts 2.2.1 and tiles 2.2.2. I've done every step described here but I cannot get tiles work... I get the following error while deploying my war to glassfish 3.1:
[#|2011-10-04T08:43:28.117+0200|SEVERE|glassfish3.1|javax.enterprise.system.tools.admin.org.glassfish.deployment.admin|_ThreadID=74;_ThreadName=AutoDeployer;|Exception while invoking class com.sun.enterprise.web.WebApplication start method

at com.sun.enterprise.web.WebApplication.start(WebApplication.java:130)
In my WEB-INF/lib I've got commons-collections-3.1.jar, commons-fileupload-1.2.1.jar, struts2-core-2.2.1.jar, tiles-api-2.2.2.jar, tiles-core-2.2.2.jar, tiles-jsp-2.2.2.jar and xwork-core-2.2.1.jar.
This is my struts.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</action>
<action name="index">

</action>
</package>
</struts>
After inserting the code into my struts.xml, I get this error in eclipse:
And this is my web.xml:

Thank you very much!

ClassNotFoundException Always alerts you that some class/jar which is referenced is missing. Make sure you have all the basic jars required for tiles.
In my case, I have these jars (besides struts2 jars) in my struts2 application to test a demo tile project.
Best of luck.

You're missing the S2 tiles plugin. It's listed in the referenced article.
Your second issue with the XML is clearly stated in the IDE error; the order of elements given in the error message isn't the order you define the elements in your XML file.

ClassNotFoundException, looks like missing jar issue. Can you see the tiles plugin jar in war that is getting deployed on glassfish server.if not check check the war creation setting in you IDE. We faced this problem when it was not pushing jars from lib to the war.
