Theme inheritance mechanism doesn't work when using the freemarker templates in 
WEB_APP root.

                 Key: WW-1961
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-1961
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: Struts 2.0.8-SNAPSHOT, but same problem with 2.0.6, using 
Linux, Jetty plugin for maven2
            Reporter: Sami Dalouche
            Priority: Critical


The performance tuning guide suggests copying the template folder to WEB_APP 
root.

So, I did it, and ajusted the "struts.ui.templateDir" configuration item.
=> drastic improvement of the performance (yiiii ahhhh !! Struts2 is finally 
faaaast )

However, it seems to break the inheritance mechanism of templates. For 
instance, the a, a-close , or actionerror tags do not work for the css_xhtml 
theme (which inherits these tags fro xhtml).

The error is the following one :
[ERROR] [2007-05-31 21:10:26,281] [org.apache.struts2.components.ClosingUIBean] 
(btpool0-2,) : Could not open template
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Template /struts2-template/css_xhtml/a.ftl not 
found.

PS: why is it necessary to copy the freemarker template manually to the webapp 
root to improve performance ? Isn't it possible to inject artificial dates to 
classpath resources ? The date could depend on devMode = true or false. If 
true, inject new Date(), if false, inject any really old date.
