Struts error

Hi

I am new to tiles frame work

1. I have made the following entry in web.xml

<taglib>
<taglib-uri>/tags/struts-tiles</taglib-uri>
<taglib-location>/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld</taglib-location>
</taglib>

2. I have made a layout jsp

<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-tiles" prefix="tiles" %>

/tags/struts-tiles
<html>
<head>
<title>
<tiles:getAsString name="title" ignore="true"/>
</title>
</head>

<body marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 rightmargin=0>

<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 height=100% width=100% border=1>

<tr>
<td height=90 colspan=2>
<tiles:insert attribute="header" ignore="true">
<tiles

ut name="title" beanName="title" beanScope="title"/>
</tiles:insert>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td width=150><tiles:insert attribute="left"/></td>
<td><tiles:insert attribute="content"/></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td height=5 colspan=2><tiles:insert attribute="bottom"/></td>
</tr>

</table>

</body>
3. I have created the nessary files like footer,bottom etc.

4. My content.jsp is as below

<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-logic" prefix="logic" %>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-tiles" prefix="tiles" %>

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
asdasd
<tiles:insert page="/msgtilelayout.jsp" flush="true">
<tiles

ut name="title" type="string" value="QEqeqeqwe"/>
<tiles

ut name="header" value="/header.jsp"/>
<tiles

ut name="left" value="/left.jsp"/>
<tiles

ut name="bottom" value="/bottom.jsp"/>
<tiles

ut name="bottom" type="string">
Siome text goes here
</tiles

ut>
</tiles:insert>
</body>
</head>

5. This is my entry in struts.config file
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin" >


<set-property property="definitions-config"
value="/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml" />

<set-property property="moduleAware" value="true" />
<set-property property="definitions-parser-validate" value="true"/>
</plug-in>

But I am getting the following error

"Suneesh VR",

Welcome to JavaRanch. We don't have many rules here, but we do have a naming policy which we try to strictly enforce. Please re-read this document and edit your display name in order to comply. Thanks in advance, and we look forward to seeing you around the Ranch.

Hi,
I think in your <tiles ut name =...>, you need to specify an actual beanScope as request, page,etc. Try it and see if that works.

I have tried with bean scope also but still it is not working
When I am accessing the layout jsp I am getting the following error
will it be the problem ?

Do you really need to do this ? For my case, I've always been using:
