Hmm, I just took a second look. We do actually have struts2-sitemesh-plugin.jar in our classpath. OTOH, it doesn't seem to be used anywhere. From the documentation available ( http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/sitemesh-plugin.html), it sounds like the plugin is only important if you're using Velocity or Freemarker.
I might be missing something here, but based on my project files, it seems to make sense. Someone more experienced with Sitemesh could probably give you a better answer than I can. -Brian On Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 11:02 AM, Greg Lindholm <greg.lindh...@gmail.com>wrote: > Brian, you are saying I can use struts tags and access the action etc > in my JSP decorator without needing the struts2-sitemesh-plugin? > (This would be great, but then what is the plugin for?) > > Thanks Dave, Brian for the clarification on the filter vs filter-mapping > order. > > > On Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 10:53 AM, Brian Thompson <elephant...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Re: Question 1 - > > > > No, you can use other taglibs inside a decorator file.
