Anders,
Might I just say that you can do it 'cleaner' using SiteMesh properly :)

becomes:

> <yadda yadda />

And the decorator becomes:
Can just use <decorator:getProperty name="meta.view_name"> and
<decorator:isPropertySet name="meta.view_name"> to govern it's logic?
Using HTML META tags is a lot nicer for HTML guys!
Cheers,
Mike
