Tiles 2 Wildcard to remove duplicate not working

I'm using Spring, Struts 2, and Tiles 2 in my project and I'm trying to use wildcard notation here to remove the duplicate in my setup from here

<definition name="home-template1" template="/WEB-INF/jsp/templates/template1.jsp">
    <put-attribute name="banner" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/banner.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/header.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/body.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="archive" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/archive.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/footer.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="home-template2" template="/WEB-INF/jsp/templates/template2.jsp">
    <put-attribute name="banner" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/banner.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/header.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/body.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="archive" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/archive.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/footer.jsp" />
</definition>
<definition name="home-template3" template="/WEB-INF/jsp/templates/template3.jsp">
    <put-attribute name="banner" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/banner.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/header.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/body.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="archive" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/archive.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/footer.jsp" />
</definition>

to

<definition name="home-*" template="/WEB-INF/jsp/templates/{1}.jsp">
    <put-attribute name="banner" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/banner.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/header.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/body.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="archive" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/archive.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/footer.jsp" />
</definition>

but tiles gives me the following error:

org.apache.tiles.definition.NoSuchDefinitionException: home-template2

below is my struts.xml file snipped with only the two action responsible for calling it

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC

<constant name="struts.enable.SlashesInActionNames" value="true"/>
<constant name="struts.mapper.alwaysSelectFullNamespace" value="false"/>    
<constant name="struts.action.extension" value=","/> 

<package name="test" extends="struts-default" namespace="/">
    
    <result-types>
        <result-type name="tiles" class="org.apache.struts2.views.tiles.TilesResult" />
    </result-types>
    
    <action name="checkBlogUrl" class="checkBlogUrl">
        <result name="success" type="redirectAction">
            <param name="actionName">postPreview</param>
            <param name="nextAction">${nextAction}</param>
            <param name="blogSiteUrl">${blogSiteUrl}</param>
        </result>
        <result name="error">/WEB-INF/jsp/cmsPages/index.jsp</result>
    </action>
    
    <action name="postPreview" class="blogPostAction">
        <result name="success" type="tiles">${nextAction}</result>
    </action>
    
</package>
</struts>

sample URL call:

mycms:8080/CMS/postPreview?nextAction=home-template2&blogSiteUrl=qsdcza

(Note: I removed the extension .action/.do of Struts)

also, can I use the wildcards in the extension? eg:

<definition name="about-*" extends="home-*">
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/about.jsp" />
</definition>

want to it myself try but can't make the basic wildcard work.

Tiles has wildcard support in versions 2.1, 2.2.

By default, Tiles 2.2 supports wildcards in definition names. Wildcards help a lot in writing less code to declare your definitions.

For better usage of Tiles and Struts2 see Tiles 2.2.2 Integration.

You can use tiles definition like this

<definition name="home*" template="/WEB-INF/jsp/templates/{1}.jsp">
    <put-attribute name="banner" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/banner.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/header.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/body.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="archive" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/archive.jsp" />
    <put-attribute name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/sitePages/footer.jsp" />
</definition>
