We have a Struts2 project that uses sitemesh. We have 2 decorators but for some unknown reason sitemesh always defaults to the catchall pattern. We've stripped down configuration to the bare necessities, omitting spring-security, removing filters from web.xml, and minimizing the struts configuration. There are no (logged) errors. I've included the config files below.
Decorators.xml - with the config below, when trying to open page2.html, service.jsp is used. If we move the /* pattern to the default decorator configuration, default.jsp is used.
<decorators defaultdir="/decorators">
<excludes>
</excludes>
<decorator name="default" page="default.jsp">
<pattern>/page2.*</pattern>
</decorator>
<decorator name="service" page="service.jsp">
<pattern>/page1.*</pattern>
<pattern>/*</pattern>
</decorator>
</decorators>
Struts.xml :
<struts>
<constant name="struts.devMode" value="true" />
<constant name="struts.action.extension" value="html"/>
<package name="yr-default" extends="struts-default">
</package>
<package name="default" namespace="/" extends="yr-default">
<action name="page2">
<result>/test.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
</struts>
Web.xml
<web-app>
<display-name>prism</display-name>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

<filter>

<welcome-file-list>

and finally : sitemesh.xml
<sitemesh>
<property name="decorators-file" value="/WEB-INF/decorators.xml"/>
<excludes file="${decorators-file}"/>
<page-parsers>

<decorator-mappers>
<mapper class="com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.mapper.ConfigDecoratorMapper">
<param name="config" value="${decorators-file}"/>
</mapper>
</decorator-mappers>
</sitemesh>
Versions used : - Sitemesh 2.4.2. - Struts2 2.3.16.3
Does anyone have a clue on what we are missing?
