hi I’m new in Struts2 and I have such problem

I write web app with tiles
This is structure of my app

enter image description here

this is my web.xml

<filter>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

<listener>
    <listener-class>
        org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener
    </listener-class>
</listener>
<context-param>
    <param-name>tilesDefinitions</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/tile/tiles.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

This is my tiles.xml

<tiles-definitions>
    <definition name="baseLayout" template="/jspf/base_layout/base_layout.jsp">
        <put-attribute name="title" value="" />
        <put-attribute name="header" value="/jspf/header.jsp" />
        <put-attribute name="menu" value="/jspf/menu.jsp" />
        <put-attribute name="body" value="" />
        <put-attribute name="footer" value="/jspf/footer.jsp" />
    </definition>
    <definition name="news.tiles" extends="baseLayout">
        <put-attribute name="title" value="index.title" />
        <put-attribute name="body" value="/jsp/news_list.jsp" />
    </definition>
    <definition name="create.tiles" extends="baseLayout">
        <put-attribute name="title" value="news.add" />
        <put-attribute name="body" value="/jsp/add_news.jsp" />
    </definition>
    <definition name="edit.tiles" extends="baseLayout">
        <put-attribute name="title" value="news.edit" />
        <put-attribute name="body" value="/jsp/edit_news.jsp" />
    </definition>
</tiles-definitions>

and that’s my struts.xml

<struts>
    <constant name="struts.enable.DynamicMethodInvocation"
              value="false" />
    <constant name="struts.custom.i18n.resources" value="properties.locale" />
    <constant name="struts.devMode" value="false" />

    <package name="tiles" extends="struts-default" namespace="/">
        <result-types>
            <result-type name="tiles"
                         class="org.apache.struts2.views.tiles.TilesResult" />
        </result-types>
        <action name="newsList" class="by.bulgak.newsmanagement.action.NewsAction" >
            <result type="tiles">news.tiles</result>
        </action>
        <action name="addNewsForm" class="by.bulgak.newsmanagement.action.AddNewsFormAction">
            <result type="tiles">create.tiles</result>
        </action>
        <action name="editNewsForm" class="by.bulgak.newsmanagement.action.EditNewsFormAction">
            <result type="tiles">edit.tiles</result>
        </action>

        <action name="addNews" class="by.bulgak.newsmanagement.action.AddNewsAction">
            <result name="success"></result>
            <result name="error"></result>
        </action>

        <action name="deleteNews" class="by.bulgak.newsmanagement.action.DeleteNewsAction">
            <result name="success"></result>
            <result name="error"></result>
        </action>

        <action name="editNews" class="by.bulgak.newsmanagement.action.EditeNewsAction">
            <result name="success"></result>
            <result name="error"></result>
        </action>

        <action name="deleteNewsList" class="by.bulgak.newsmanagement.action.DeleteNewsListAction">
            <result name="success"></result>
            <result name="error"></result>
        </action>
    </package>
    <package name="locale" namespace="/" extends="struts-default">
        <action name="locale" class="by.bulgak.newsmanagement.action.LocaleAction">
            <result>index.jsp</result>
        </action>
    </package>
</struts>

In your web.xml put these entries.

 <context-param>
  <param-name>org.apache.tiles.impl.BasicTilesContainer.DEFINITIONS_CONFIG</param-name>
  <param-value>/WEB-INF/tile/tiles.xml,/org/apache/tiles/classpath-defs.xml</param-value>
