Why does the JSP version behave differently? I.e. no reference to the property is necessary to get the action tag result output. This difference isn't clear anywhere in documentation AFAIK.
Also, I want the output of the entire action result. My result may be considerably more complex than a simple date object.

In fact the follow line: <@s.action var="dateAction" name="date" namespace="/" executeResult="true" /> initializes a dateAction reference (var) to the invoked action. If you want to see your date you need to add this row <@s.property value="#dateAction.date" /> Did it work in that way before? Maurizio Cucchiara 2010/10/3 Derrick Koes <derrick_k...@skillsoft.com<mailto:derrick_k...@skillsoft.com>> I am upgrading to struts 2.2.1, but realized there is an issue with freemarker sitemesh decorators which use the struts 2 action tag. This is a regression from 2.1.8.1. To demonstrate the issue with a reasonably simple example I deployed the struts2-showcase-2.2.1 sample application. Then, ensuring the web.xml is set up to handle freemarker sitemesh decorators, I created a 'main.ftl' decorator based on the main.jsp decorator included in the app. I modified the decorators.xml to use the main.ftl rather than the main.jsp decorator and restarted the app. Note that the "date" action in the action tag within the freemarker sitemesh decorator runs as the variable usage for the year in the copyright line is correct. However, notice that the header is missing the date (as compared to the jsp version). Any help in further understanding or resolving the issue is appreciated.
