Re: AW: Tiles newbie with questions/errors

Thanks Louis, but I was afraid of that.  I really dislike the idea of 
having to customize the keel files, because I always forget and update 
over the changes.  However, a working solution IS a WORKING solution. 

thanks again

But using the 2.1-dev system, I had to add a step to the keel_bundle_client:buildconfigstruts target in $KEEL_HOME/keel-build/import/keel-bundle-client.xml. I keep my tiles-defs.xml file in $KEEL_HOME/clnt-struts/conf/client/webapp and this is how I got it to deploy:
