decorating static content with sitemesh
Hi,
I am using the sitemesh-plugin to decorate my struts-site and Im am wondering, if it is possible to decorate static-pages using sitemesh.
That is, I have some plain html pages which need to get the same LAF the entire site has.
I already added "<pattern>/html/*</pattern>" to the decorators.xml, but all I get is an Exception when trying to open the page:
java.lang.RuntimeException: javax.servlet.ServletException: Error applying decorator: null
com.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.decorator.BaseWebAppDecorator.render(BaseWebAppDecorator.java:39)
com.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.SiteMeshFilter.doFilter(SiteMeshFilter.java:84)
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareFilter.doFilter(StrutsPrepareFilter.java:82)
The Exception is raised by a NullPointerException in org.apache.struts2.sitemesh.OldDecorator2NewStrutsDecorator.render(Content, HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, ServletContext, SiteMeshWebAppContext) by
ValueStack vs = Dispatcher.getInstance().getContainer().getInstance(ValueStackFactory.class).createValueStack();
"Dispatcher.getInstance()" returns null
FYI, I am using the sitemesh-2.4.2 hotfix from jira
Now, is this behaviour only a bug, or is it not meant to be used with static content?
To find out by myself, I was desperately trying to compile struts2 and xwork from svn, but it continously failed and I gave up. (Maybe this is why the last nightly build is from 6 days ago?)
Hope somebody can help.
Regards,
Philipp

How do you have struts mapped in web.xml? If it is mapped to /*
no you don't. If it is mapped to *.action, add another mapping
for /staticHTML/*

Sorry for my late reply, but I was busy doing other things.
I just investigated a little further into this issue, but still cannot find a way to resolve it.
As you proposed, I checked my struts filter mapping, which is /* , so that would be sufficient.
I also checked the struts.action.extension-property in struts.properties, which I commented out, so this defaults to "action" and "" in org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.DefaultActionMapper.
But in this class there seems to be the error: In revision 615679 a change was made to org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.mapper.DefaultActionMapper.dropExtension(String, ActionMapping) , which was supposed to add some special handling for urls like /foo/bar-1.0/description . Anyway, this handling seems to breaks URLs like "foo.htm".
So, to sum it up, am I missing anything which I need to do to make my stuff work? If not, I'll subclass the DefaultActionMapper and override the mentioned method, but I don't think thats the way it's supposed to be.
Regards,
Philipp

In web.xml, make a Struts filter mapping that includes *.html in addition to
*.action.

Hi Brian,
that would work, but then I'll have to make a call to "/staticHTML/page.html.action" to access "/staticHTML/page.html".
Would be a workaround, but I still would prefer the call to *.html

Can you get the Struts filter to execute for static pages? It seems like
that would fix the Dispatcher.getInstance() problem. Something like
<action name="*" class="com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport">
<result name="success">/staticHTML/{1}</result>
</action>
in your struts.xml seems like it would do the trick (be careful of
overriding your regular actions!).

Sure it would be faster without that stuff, but since I use some session-related stuff (user login status etc.) , replacing it with a static decorator would not be feasible.
Thanks anyway for your suggestions.

RE: decorating static content with sitemesh
Posted by "Kawczynski, David" <da...@merck.com>.
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.

Re: decorating static content with sitemesh
Posted by Philipp Leusmann <ph...@rwth-aachen.de>.
Ok, that would not be sufficient for me, since I use some struts in my decorating template, as well.

David,
did you use plain sitemesh or the struts-sitemesh plugin?

RE: decorating static content with sitemesh
Posted by "Kawczynski, David" <da...@merck.com>.
I have used SiteMesh to decorate static content served
up by the app server. If the static content is served
up by apache (or some other httpd server) you're out of
luck.
