I had one last hiccup with the Sitemesh integration on S2. Although I am using the default JSP approach and didn't need the template support for Freemarker or Velocity provided by the Sitemesh plugin for S2, I did need to add the ActionContextCleanUp filter to my web.xml as recommended as part of this documentation for the sitemesh plugin that supports templating:
http://struts.apache.org/2.0.9/docs/sitemesh-plugin.html Until I added the ActionContextCleanUp filter, I was getting an NPE for the first S2 tag encountered in my Sitemesh decorator JSP. My final working web.xml filter settings/mappings (not using the struts2-sitemesh-plugin though) are: <!-- This filter allows sitemesh decorator's to access struts framework variables --> <filter> <filter-name>struts-cleanup</filter-name> <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ActionContextCleanUp</filter-class> </filter> <!-- sitemesh gives us an overall page/panel definition --> <filter> <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name> <filter-class>com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.filter.PageFilter</filter-class> </filter> <!-- Struts is attached as the last filter. Note that this must be placed AFTER other related filters (like SiteMesh) because if this succeeds and decides to send the request to struts, the rest of the filter chain is stopped. --> <filter> <filter-name>struts</filter-name> <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>struts-cleanup</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>struts</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> I'm not sure why, but, I didn't need the extra cleanup filter for the WW-2.2 app. I may still run into some other minor hiccups during a full regression test run, but, things are basically working now. This was done on a SVN branch, but, I should be able to make the same changes in a matter of hours (thanks to IntelliJ) on our main trunk later this week after completing my regression testing on the branch.
