I have used struts tags in my decorating templates (past tense). It is definitely possible... but not smart, IMHO. Why? Response times, especially under load + time, were horrible.
I countered this by removing the struts tags from my templates, re-arranging the filters in web.xml, and configuring SiteMesh to use different decorator templates for different paths. (Note that this works when template content varies based on navigation path, not on user attributes or something similar.) Response times were much snappier after doing this. > -----Original Message----- > From: Philipp Leusmann [mailto:philipp.leusm...@rwth-aachen.de] > Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 12:26 PM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: Re: decorating static content with sitemesh > > Ok, that would not be sufficient for me, since I use some > struts in my decorating template, as well. > > I thought, maybe struts and sitemesh could decorate static > pages using the default action to resolve the stack > > Philipp > > Am 21.01.2010 um 18:01 schrieb Kawczynski, David: > > > Plain sitemesh, with it's own filter in web.xml > > > >> -----Original Message----- > >> From: Philipp Leusmann [mailto:philipp.leusm...@rwth-aachen.de] > >> Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 11:58 AM > >> To: Struts Users Mailing List > >> Subject: Re: decorating static content with sitemesh > >> > >> David, > >> > >> did you use plain sitemesh or the struts-sitemesh plugin? > >> > >> Philipp > >> > >> Am 21.01.2010 um 17:50 schrieb Kawczynski, David: > >> > >>> I have used SiteMesh to decorate static content served > >>> up by the app server.
