The exclusion is based on the requested URL, not where the file is in your
project.
This is what I did. I have two action definitions,
<action name=createPO" class="CreatePOAction" />
<action name="createPOAjax" class="CreatePOAction" />
Requests to createPO.action should be decorated, calls to
createPOAjax.action shouldn't.
<excludes>
<pattern>*Ajax.action*</pattern>
</excludes>
I'm not sure if the second * is necessary, but it works. I also use one
class with two action definitions. I have methods that handle the Ajax stuff
in the same class file so everything is nicely contained and I use the
method argument to the request to call the specific method I want.
Take care,
Mark
