In struts-config.xml,add the following code. We use the /WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml file to enable TilesPlugin

In this file we are defining different components to the "plugin" tag. The following is th code for the same:

<definition name="Tiles.Example" page="/tiles/template.jsp">
<put name="title" type="string" value="Welcome" />
<put name="header" value="/tiles/top.jsp" />
<put name="menu" value="/tiles/left.jsp" />
<put name="body" value="/tiles/content.jsp" />
<put name="bottom" value="/tiles/bottom.jsp" /> 
</definition>

The page attribute define the template file to be used and the put tag specifies the different components to "plugin".The name of the definition is Tiles.Example,we will use this in the struts-config.xml (While creating forwards in struts-config.xml file) file Your tiles-defs.xml should looks like:

Add following code in the struts-config.xml :

In the above code,with Tiles,the action points to Tiles definition.we are using Tiles.Example in this code definition which we have defined in the tiles-defs.xml file. Without Tiles,forward and action definitions point directly to the JSPs. With Tiles,they point to the page's definition in Tiles configuration file.
