/**
 * <p>Command class intended to perform responsibilities of the
 * TilesRequestProcessor in Struts 1.1.  Does not actually dispatch requests,
 * but simply prepares the chain context for a later forward as
 * appropriate.  Should be added to a chain before something which
 * would handle a conventional ForwardConfig.</p>
 *
 * <p>This class will never have any effect on the chain unless a
 * <code>TilesDefinitionFactory</code> can be found; however it does not
 * consider the absence of a definition factory to be a fatal error; the
 * command simply returns false and lets the chain continue.</p>
 *
 * <p>To initialize the <code>TilesDefinitionFactory</code>, use
 * <code>org.apache.struts.chain.commands.legacy.TilesPlugin</code>.  This class
 * is a simple extension to <code>org.apache.struts.tiles.TilesPlugin</code>
 * which simply does not interfere with your choice of <code>RequestProcessor</code>
 * implementation.
