dale, i think i will go to the sitemesh experts because i have a feeling it will not work. i did not succeed to get any pattern working apart from the /* pattern even something like /n* will not match a URL starting with an n
i have a feeling struts is in the way. like matt says: "Yes, but you'll have to modify the staticFilter in web.xml so the request to your HTML page is not handled by your web framework." but then i can not use struts which my pages need. i hoped someone would say did that/done that/do it like this ;) thanks, tibi Dale Newfield wrote: > tibi wrote: >> <decorator name="default" page="default.jsp"> >> <pattern>/some_thml_file_here_please</pattern> >> </decorator> > > The patterns in question are not pages.
