Here is the struts cofig file

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
 
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
          "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 1.2//EN"
          "http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_2.dtd">
 

 
<struts-config>
 

 

 
    <action-mappings>
         <action path="/Tiles/Example"
       forward="Tiles.Example"/>
    </action-mappings>
 

<!-- ============================================= Controller Configuration -->
 
    <controller
       processorClass="org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesRequestProcessor"/>
