If the request isn't hitting an action or the S2 interceptor stack and filter there will not be a value stack... if you just request an ftl it won't be processed by S2 at all, no?
Options include making an actual S2 request, passing in messages to the JS, creating a global message object and referencing it from the JS, and so on.

This javascript files needs to be able to use the getText() method. I figured I'd name it "util.js.ftl" so that accessing it directly caused the sitemesh-freemarker filter to catch it, but this throws a NullPointerException (maybe because there's no ActionContext?): > > GET /myservlet/util.js.ftl > java.lang.NullPointerException > org.apache.struts2.sitemesh.FreemarkerDecoratorServlet.process(FreemarkerDecoratorServlet.java:176) > org.apache.struts2.sitemesh.FreemarkerDecoratorServlet.doGet(FreemarkerDecoratorServlet.java:130) > javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:617) > javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717) > org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsExecuteFilter.doFilter(StrutsExecuteFilter.java:85) > com.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.SiteMeshFilter.obtainContent(SiteMeshFilter.java:129) > com.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.SiteMeshFilter.doFilter(SiteMeshFilter.java:77) > org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareFilter.doFilter(StrutsPrepareFilter.java:82) > rss.web.filter.SkinFilter.doFilter(SkinFilter.java:98) > org.jboss.web.tomcat.filters.ReplyHeaderFilter.doFilter(ReplyHeaderFilter.java:96) > The action is simple and just returns SUCCESS. > > <action name="index" class="com.rgm.action.IndexAction"> > <result name="success" type="freemarker">index.ftl</result> > </action> > > Is there a recommended way for a result template to load external files such that they are separate GET requests from the browser, but are still parsed through the Sitemesh-Freemarker filters and servlets, with access to the value stack?
