You did understand me correctly and I see your dilema -- problem is the tags
like <exclude> are
not aware of what action the view came from :(

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that I should have double
copies of each JSP, say "/decorated/view.jsp" and "/undecorated/view.jsp".
And I should configure the exclusion pattern like
"<exclude>/undecorated/*</exclude>".
If possible, I'd really like to avoid that. Java classes themselves already
have plenty of boilerplate code without adding JSPs to the mix :)
