S2 and Sitemesh basic configuration
I'm working on my first project that will use sitemesh and have some
questions on basic configuration with Struts2.
Info:
struts 2.2.1
sitemesh 2.4.1
My decorators will be JSP files
I'm looking at the struts2-sitemesh-plugin doc
http://struts.apache.org/2.2.1/docs/sitemesh-plugin.html
Question 1) If I want to access struts2 resources (from the action or
value stack) and use struts2 tags from the decorator JSP then I need
to use the sitemesh plugin, is that correct?
Question 2) Do I need to configure the FreemarkerDecoratorServlet and
VelocityDecoratorServlet since I'm only using JSP decorators? (I think
not, but better ask.)
Question 3) Do I need to configure the JspSupportServlet? It's listed
under the Full Integration section with no mapping and no description?
What does it do?
Question 4) In the "Example" section of the doc the sitemesh filter
appears after the two struts filters, is this correct? I was under the
impression that the sitemesh filter must be declared between the
struts-prepare and struts-execute filters. Is this the example wrong?
Thanks

Thanks Maurizio.
To wrap this up; here are the changes I needed to make to web.xml to
use Sitemesh with Struts 2.2.1:
<filter>
<filter-name>struts2-prepare</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter>
<filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.SiteMeshFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter>
<filter-name>struts2-execute</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsExecuteFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2-prepare</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>struts2-execute</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Thanks

You must include struts-sitemesh-plugin only if you need to use
(Freemarker, Velocity)DecoratorServlet, otherwise you can use only
sitemesh filter.

Thanks Brain.
Can anyone else give me a definitive answer about the struts2-sitemesh-plugin?
Is it actually needed if you are using JSP decorators?
I've done a few little tests and it doesn't appear to be needed. I've
including struts tags in the decorator JSP file and I can access my
action properties.
Thanks

Re: S2 and Sitemesh basic configuration

Hmm, I just took a second look. We do actually have
struts2-sitemesh-plugin.jar in our classpath. OTOH, it doesn't seem to be
used anywhere. From the documentation available (
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/sitemesh-plugin.html), it sounds like the
plugin is only important if you're using Velocity or Freemarker.
I might be missing something here, but based on my project files, it seems
to make sense. Someone more experienced with Sitemesh could probably give
you a better answer than I can.

Re: S2 and Sitemesh basic configuration

Brian, you are saying I can use struts tags and access the action etc
in my JSP decorator without needing the struts2-sitemesh-plugin?
(This would be great, but then what is the plugin for?)
Thanks Dave, Brian for the clarification on the filter vs filter-mapping order.

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

The declaration order of filters doesn't matter: it's the filter-mappings
that are ordered.
