             Summary: After WW-3330, <@s.action> broken in non-sitemesh freemarker templates
                 Key: WW-4306
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-4306
             Project: Struts 2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Plugin - SiteMesh
    Affects Versions: 2.3.16.1
            Reporter: Brandon Ramirez


After upgrading from Struts 2.1.8.1 to 2.3.16.1, we observed that if a Sitemesh Freemarker decorator used <@s.action> to include another action, the action's Freemarker view output is not rendered.

This is identical to what WW-3330 describes, which is reported fixed in 2.2.3.

The documentation (http://struts.apache.org/release/2.3.x/docs/sitemesh-plugin.html) specifies to use com.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.SiteMeshFilter.  The fix in WW-3330 applies to org.apache.struts2.sitemesh.FreemarkerPageFilter, a sub-class of SiteMeshFilter.  Using SiteMeshFilter as the documentation specifies, WW-3330 does not appear resolved.

If I change my web.xml to use FreemarkerPageFilter instead of SiteMeshFilter, the WW-3330 problem is resolved, but now <@s.action> fails to render Freemarker output when *not* included via Sitemesh decorators.

Judging by the number of configuration changes (servlets and filters) in 2.2, it is possible that I have web.xml configured incorrectly.  If that is the case, feel free to throw your tomatoes :)  But I have triple checked and at this point I am wondering if this is a regression from WW-3330.

If needed, I can try to put together a minimal web app to reproduce the problem.
