Problems getting Tiles work with Struts2

Question

I'm using struts 2.2.1 and tiles 2.2.2. I've done every step described here but I cannot get tiles work... I get the following error while deploying my war to glassfish 3.1:

[#|2011-10-04T08:43:28.117+0200|SEVERE|glassfish3.1|javax.enterprise.system.tools.admin.org.glassfish.deployment.admin|_ThreadID=74;_ThreadName=AutoDeployer;|Exception while invoking class com.sun.enterprise.web.WebApplication start method
java.lang.Exception: java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener
    at com.sun.enterprise.web.WebApplication.start(WebApplication.java:130)

In my WEB-INF/lib I've got commons-collections-3.1.jar, commons-fileupload-1.2.1.jar, struts2-core-2.2.1.jar, tiles-api-2.2.2.jar, tiles-core-2.2.2.jar, tiles-jsp-2.2.2.jar and xwork-core-2.2.1.jar.

This is my struts.xml:

    "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.0//EN"
    "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.0.dtd">

        </interceptors>

        <exception-mapping exception="exceptions.WebServiceExceptionForStruts"
                result="webServiceException" />
        </global-exception-mappings>

        <action name="tilesTest" class="test.action.TilesTest">
            <result name="success" type="tiles">/welcome.tiles</result>
        </action>

        <action name="index">
            <result>/jsp/index.jsp</result>
        </action>

    </package>
</struts>

After inserting the code into my struts.xml, I get this error in eclipse:

And this is my web.xml:

Thank you very much!

You're missing the S2 tiles plugin. It's listed in the referenced article.

Your second issue with the XML is clearly stated in the IDE error; the order of elements given in the error message isn't the order you define the elements in your XML file.
