Yeah. I had the same problem. Same problem with the error page
definitions in my web.xml too. I had to resort to having  placeholder
welcome/error JSPs that forward to an action mapping that simply
forwards to the real JSP. For example, my welcome file contents is:

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
<logic:forward name="welcome"/>

Where the "welcome" forward points to an action mapping that simply
forwards to the real login JSP. When I do that, the pages get
decorated. If I don't, they don't. If there is a better solution, I
would love to hear it. For now, I just live with this one level of
indirection and a couple of extra JSPs to make it work.
