Use Apache Tiles

Good afternoon in my timezone.

I am working on a project that is in production for over one year, the application server is running the J2EE 1.3 version.Now i am trying to use the apache tiles framework to separate the content from the layout.The project has in the WEB-INF/lib the following libraries that implement the STRUTS framework -struts1.2.6 -struts-core-1.3.10 -struts-extras-1.3.10.jar -struts-taglib-1.3.10.jar

After this introduction my nightmare begun: 1) To configure the Tiles i added the following code to my struts-config.xml:

<action path="/tilesTest"  
        parameter="aDef" 
        type="org.apache.struts.actions.ForwardAction" />

<controller processorClass="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor" />

   <plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >
    <set-property property="definitions-config" value="/WEB-INF/tilesdefs.xml" />
     <set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
   </plug-in>

The 'aDef' parameter is defined in the tilesdefs.xml. When i call the action in the browser, it throws me the following exception:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.struts.config.ForwardConfig.getContextRelative()Z org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor.processForwardConfig(TilesRequestProcessor.java:289)

After investigation i found a post saying the following :

Checked the application lib folder to find struts-core-1.3.8.jar as well as struts.jar. It is because of this that the exception was thrown. struts.jar has the forwardConfig class and getContextRelative() method. struts-core-1.3.8.jar has the forwardConfig class , but not the getContextRelative() method. This was causing the issue. Therefore remove struts.jar so that 1.3.8 version is used. -- Additionally add struts-extras-1.3.8.jar to the application lib

Like i told in the begging i have the same two libs, the only problem is, it is the struts.jar lib that have the tiles package, the struts-core-1.3.8 do not have that package. So what i am suppose to do , to run tiles in this application ?

Sorry for the question extension but i have to explain the all situation. Best regards THANKS IN ADVANCE to anyone that tries to help me

Fix your classpath. It doesn't make much sense to have two different versions of Struts in the classpath. The tiles classes for Struts 1.3.10 are in struts-tiles-1.3.10.jar bundled with struts-1.3.10.
