I'm trying to integrate Tiles 3 with Struts 2.
I guess I've added all the necessary jar files in the lib but I get:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener

To integrate Tiles 3 with Struts 2 you need to use the struts2-tiles3-plugin, not the struts2-tiles-plugin.
You are using the Tiles2 Listener:
<listener-class>
org.apache.struts2.tiles.StrutsTilesListener
</listener-class>
The right one is the Tiles3 Listener:
<listener-class>
org.apache.tiles.extras.complete.CompleteAutoloadTilesListener
</listener-class>
You are also using the wrong Struts2 Filter:
<filter-class>
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsExecuteFilter
</filter-class>
Use the complete one:
<filter-class>
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter
</filter-class>
