Done :-) Few things (it will help other as well): - template directory must be accessible via classpath, in the same way as templates included in Struts2 are available (they are located in struts2-core.jar) - when overriding one file from the parent theme you can use "expandTheme" variable for proper theme inheritance - thus will tell framework to search chain of parents' themes - then you can use your custom theme as defaultTheme by defining it with "struts.ui.theme" constant
There is one drawback right now (and I don't have good solution right now), you can see it in KUTheme/checkboxlist.ftl - it must directly reference KUTheme_simple/checkboxlist.ftl because in other case you will get stack overflow Regards -- Łukasz + 48 606 323 122 http://www.lenart.org.pl/ 2013/12/12 [email protected] <[email protected]>: > I've updated the Struts 2 example applications at > https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/struts/sandbox/trunk/struts2examples/ to > use 2.3.16 release. > > The theme example still doesn't work and I've not been able to figure out > how to fix it.
