1:plugin-tiles在jdk1.4下面有问题，ServletContextListener重写一下可以解决问题。代码如下：（注意使用 RETROTRANSLATOR转换jdk5 编译的包时需要指明classpath="jdk1.4/rt.jar的路径"）

2:plugin-tiles此时还不支持velocity视图，但支持freemarker(必须以ftl做扩展名)和jsp混用
3:action 配置后不需要明确指明method,使用时直接指向这个action,再指定method名称即可，调用时是只调用method方法。注意如果form指明了action,那么这个form的excute会执行，但是不会影响其内部元素的method的最终结果(而且会抛异常)，这样不好，一般不要再 form上指明action
