Re: Question 1 -

No, you can use other taglibs inside a decorator file.  My user.jsp
(decorator) has the following lines:

<%-- Include struts tag declaration --%>
<%@ include file="/common/taglibs.jsp"%>

<title><decorator:title/> - <s:text name="webapp.name"/></title>

(it also uses <c:if> in places.  All you need to do is declare the taglib
with e.g.
<%@ taglib uri="/struts-tags" prefix="s" %>
Simple!)



Re: Question 4 -

In my project, I have the filters mapped like this:

    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>struts-cleanup</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
    <filter-mapping>
        <filter-name>struts</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>


Hope this helps,

Brian
