SiteMesh is just a decorator and not Struts 2 centric so you won't find what
you want in its native configuration.? As far as it is concerned the view could
have been generated by a CGI script of anything. I think the path of least
effort it to have two essentially blank JSps that include the actual material
you want to re-use?

Subject: Configuring SiteMesh for specific action mappings in Struts 2?
Hi,
I'm trying to configure sitemesh to only take effect for a certain subset of
action mappings in my Struts 2 application.
Say for example, I have the following struts.xml snippet:
<package name="default" namespace="/" extends="struts-default">
<action name="showForm">
<result>/view/form.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
<package name="widgets" namespace="/widgets" extends="struts-default">
<action name="showForm">
<result>/view/form.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
I would like the output of "/showForm.action" to be decorated by SiteMesh
but for "/widgets/showForm.action" to be returned empty instead. The
critical part here is that I want the JSP file to be reused by both action
mappings.
But try as I might, I can't seem to get SiteMesh's <exclude/> tag to
recognize a mapping. I have to specify the file "/view/form.jsp" to be
excluded instead and that means I won't be able to reuse the JSP file.
Is there any way I can get around this?
I'm using Struts 2.0.14.
Thanks,
Wong
