Thanks Daniel. My reason for this is to have the regular blogs HTML be
completely included, but then to have a system wide header that cannot
be tampered with. I beleive with SiteMesh I can accomplish this. Thanks.

Hi Matt,
The key parts with the SiteMesh integration in Tomcat, provided you
want the actual decorator in another web app, is to have the
crossContext="true" attribute in the roller.xml
<Context displayName="Roller" docBase=".." path="/roller"
crossContext="true">
Its also neccassay to have the sitemesh.jar in the tomcat/common/lib
and not in each web application.
In my roller decorator.xml I have
<!-- load decorator from a different web-app(main) deployed in
the server -->
<decorator name="main" webapp="main"
page="/decorators/blogDecorator.jsp">
<pattern>/*</pattern>
</decorator>

Hi Daniel. I would be interested in more info on your sitemesh
integration, we've been looking at how to provide a constant header
across all themes and I hadn't thought about using SiteMesh for it.
Nice work!
