Re: Transparently handling a missing image

In case it helps anyone else (or in case anyone wants to tell me how much of a bad idea this is), to solve this problem I ended up writing my own SkinFilter class (implements Filter) which looks for a "skin" parameter in the HttpSession. If it's there, then the servlet request is wrapped in a

Thank you Łukasz, I'm able to move forward now. I should point out that the Sitemesh Plugin page (linked below) lacks information about decorators.xml, which DOES seem to be required in order for the plugin to function. The decorators.xml file can simply contain "" but it seems that it must

Setting up 2.2.1 in maven for testing

I'd like to test the Sitemesh / FreeMarker "full integration" configuration available in Struts 2.2.1, detailed on this page: http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/sitemesh-plugin.html BUT I'm new to using maven and can't seem to figure out how to modify my pom.xml such that maven downloads the pre-
