I think the problem was/is the footer cannot be inherited from the parent site.xml If we add a footer section in each components section it should work. Its worth the effort if you ask me - add a footer per component which is likely to change one time every 10 years and get a good looking website. Btw, to remind people, here is the proposal of Simone: http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/digester/ Which is still excellent.
