I am having the exact same problem, except I am also using Freemarker along with Sitemesh and Struts 2. I tried using the <decorator:head/> style tags as well as the OGNL style <@decorator.head/> tags. Viewing the source of the rendered page on the browser doesn't show the tags themselves (for the OGNL styled ones) on the source. However, the head and body are not rendered from the page either. Am I missing something like the order of the filters, or a filter itself? Please see the filter config in my web.xml:
<filter> <filter-name>struts-cleanup</filter-name> <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ActionContextCleanUp</filter-class> </filter> <filter> <filter-name>Struts2</filter-name> <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.FilterDispatcher</filter-class> </filter> <filter> <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name> <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.sitemesh.FreeMarkerPageFilter</filter-class> </filter> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>struts-cleanup</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>Struts2</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> <filter-mapping> <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </filter-mapping> Please advise.
