The tale of a sitemesh experiment

using sitemesh in an OSGi environment

Two sitemesh resources

Paul Codding's blog entry: 'Spring, Hibernate, and Sitemesh'
SiteMesh - Building SiteMesh Decorators

Weaving sitemesh into pebble

Add the sitemesh PageFilter into WEB-INF/web.xml: 
<filter>
	<filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
	<filter-class>
		com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.filter.PageFilter
	</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
	<filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
	<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
Prepare the pebble template.jsp is as easy as replacing the built-in template mechanism 
<%-- the main area into which content gets rendered --%>
<div id="content">
    <template:content/>
</div>
with the sitemesh pendant: 

<%@ taglib uri="http://www.opensymphony.com/sitemesh/decorator" prefix="decorator" %>
...
<div class="docBody">
    <decorator:body />
</div>
And register the template.jsp as main decorator in WEB-INF/decorators.xml: 
<decorators defaultdir="/themes/default">
    <decorator name="main" page="template.jsp">
          <pattern>/*</pattern>
    </decorator>
</decorators>
