[Tim Holloway]

I can't actually tell what's wrong, but I can make a recommendation:

Consider using Facelets instead of Tiles. They provide an environment very similar to Tiles, but for me at least, they make more sense. Plus Facelets will intercept JSF errors and give more readable error reports.

Configuring Tiles in IBM RSA 7.0


Add to Faces Project the struts tiles support

Now we are going to add header and footer as tiles into our index page

My Index Page -Main Part

</head>
<f:view>
<body>
<f:subview id="mainheader">
<h:form>
<t:insert definition="mainheader" flush="false"/>
</h:form>
</f:subview>

<f:subview id="mainfooter">
<h:form>
<t:insert definition="mainfooter" flush="false"/>
</h:form>
</f:subview>
</body>
</f:view>

mainheader.jsp (should not be containing f:view)
<body>
<f:facet name="header">
<f:subview id="header">
<t:insert attribute="header" flush="false"/>
</f:subview>
</f:facet>
</body>


mainfooter.jsp (should not be containing f:view)

<body>
<f:facet name="footer">
<f:subview id="footer">
<t:insert attribute="footer" flush="false"/>
</f:subview>
</f:facet>
</body>

header.jsp and footer.jsp should not be containing f:view

tiles-defs.xml

<tiles-definitions>
<!--Define each of your definitions here-->
<definition name="mainheader" path="/mainheader.jsp">

<put name="header" value="/header.jsp"/>

</definition>
<definition name="mainfooter" path="/mainfooter.jsp">
<put name="footer" value="/footer.jsp"/>
</definition>
</tiles-definitions>


Your web.xml contains the tiles servlet definition
