[jira] Updated: (WW-1328) Implement theme inheritance

["David H. DeWolf (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-1328?page=all ]

David H. DeWolf updated WW-1328:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: hierarchicial-themes.patch

Implements Hierarchical Theme Loading for Freemarker templates and provides unit tests for the core changes.

This patch only includes the API changes, not the actual template changes needed to leverage this in core templates.  The ftl changes may be very painful as there are currently many hacks to get around the fact that this isn't currently implemented.

> If you look at one of the xhtml themes, for example, text.ftl, it is hard coded to use the xhtml controlfooter. This poses a problem for overridding the theme.
> Example xhtml/text.ftl:
> <#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/${parameters.theme}/controlheader.ftl" />
> <#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/simple/text.ftl" />
> <#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/xhtml/controlfooter.ftl" />
> Notice the controlfooter does not use ${parameters.theme} but rather is hard coded to xhtml.
