With 2.3.16 a proper theme inheritance mechanism was introduced - you don't have copy the whole theme to extend it, just override file you need, the rest will be loaded from parent theme and parent and so on.
The docs were updated to include information about 'expandTheme' variable which should be used when you want to use that mechanism inside your custom template. http://struts.apache.org/release/2.3.x/docs/extending-themes.html https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4145 Regards -- Łukasz + 48 606 323 122 http://www.lenart.org.pl/ 2013/12/11 rgm <str...@rgm.nu>: > I'm getting this error from my JBoss 7 application server: > > ERROR [freemarker.runtime] (http--0.0.0.0-8443-3) Template processing > error: "Error reading included file > /mx/themes/~~~rgm/dynamic-attributes.ftl": freemarker.temp > late.TemplateException: Error reading included file > /mx/themes/~~~rgm/dynamic-attributes.ftl > at freemarker.core.Include.accept(Include.java:167) > [freemarker.jar:2.3.19] > at freemarker.core.Environment.visit(Environment.java:221) > [freemarker.jar:2.3.19] > ---snip--- > > I have a theme called "rgm" in a directory called mx/themes: > > $ ls -1d mx/themes/* > mx/themes/archive > mx/themes/css_xhtml > mx/themes/html5 > mx/themes/rgm > mx/themes/simple > mx/themes/xhtml > > I've updated my copies of xhtml, css_xhtml, and simple themes from here: > ./struts-2.3.16/src/core/src/main/resources/template/* > > My "rgm" theme has a theme.properties file with "parent = css_xhtml", which > itself uses parent = xhtml, which itself uses parent = simple. > > The "rgm" theme does not include dynamic-attributes.ftl, but the "parent" > chain back to "simple" does.
