OK, finally... http://struts.apache.org/2.0.8/struts2-plugins/struts2-sitemesh-plugin/apidocs/org/apache/struts2/sitemesh/FreeMarkerPageFilter.html It has always been there, if I knew to pay attention. The issue here is that once you start defining your decorator file using FTL style syntax, it is not possible to switch between JSP style scriptlets/directives or even JSTL style tag syntax - that is within the decorator. Now, this applies only when you use the FreemarkerPageFilter as your sitemesh filter class in web.xml. So the solution for the problem that we started with in this thread is to use FreeMarker syntax for inserting the "page" elements (head, title, body) in the decorator, which is: ${head}, ${title}, ${body} for <decorator:head/>, <decorator:title/>, <decorator:body/> respectively. Using this style instead, ultimately worked for me.
