excludes again

Hi,

i am getting crazy with the excludes mechanism. The irony of it, it 
worked for me a few days ago and now i cant get it to work at all. Must 
be something trivial. I want to exclude this URL:

http://localhost:8080/Netversys/pda.html
and everything below .../pda/

here is my excludes file (i created a seperate file because i thought 
inlining could be a potential problem, but this seems not true):

<decorators>
     <excludes>
         <pattern>/pda/*.html</pattern>
         <pattern>/pda.html</pattern>
     </excludes>
</decorators>

I also tried patterns like: /*/pda.html

My general decorators.xml look like this:

     <decorator name="default" page="default.jsp">
         <pattern>*.html</pattern>
     </decorator>

And sitemesh.xml:

<sitemesh>
     <property name="decorators-file" value="/WEB-INF/decorators.xml"/>
     <property name="excludes-file" value="/WEB-INF/excludes.xml"/>

     <excludes file="${excludes-file}"/>
...
</sitemesh>

I have created my own decoratorMapper (basically a copy of 
ConfigDecoratorMapper) to better understand the inner workings but i 
cant see any exclude processing, i ve searched in PathMapper.java and 
the likes.

How can i debug this scenario? PathMapper allways returns my decorator 
of course because it maches the html suffix, but it doesnt reflect the 
exclusion list.

Thanks for ideas how to tackle that problem.
