I am struggling to extend a theme for my web application. The parent property
in theme.properties does not seem to work for my custom theme I am trying to
implement. Theme name is ccast2_0, and I have added struts.ui.theme=ccast2_0
and struts.ui.templateDir=template to struts.properties. Side note you cannot
have a period in the theme name. Adding struts.ui.theme=ccast2.0 threw a
NullPointerException. Changed to 2_0 and it worked, sorta...Continuing on:
According to the documentation I should be able to have /template/ccast2_0 with
a theme.properties file and parent=xhtml in the file and be set. Not the case
since I'm getting this error:
06/20/2008 10:44:26,859 ERROR

If I copy all the xhtml theme files from the struts2 jar into this folder,
guess what it works. This is not extending, that's copying. I also copied all
theme files from the struts2 jar: simple, xhtml, css_xhtml, into my
/template/<theme> directory to see if that worked and no dice. I must be doing
something extremely stupid here because I haven't seen any posts regarding this
issue.
Please advise !
Cheers,
Nick
