Multiple URL Patterns

I've searched through this forum a couple of times, as well as browsed the Sitemesh web site, but I'm still struggling with some basic stuff, I'm running up against a deadline, and I'm a SiteMesh noob :-)

We have an app that uses <%@ include file="..."/> to do templating.  I'd like to begin a slow migration to SiteMesh, beginning with some new screens.  That means the typical example of <pattern>/*</pattern> from decorators.xml won't work for me.

I've tried explicitly calling out the new screens like below:

<decorators>
<decorator name="default" page="default.jsp">
  <pattern>/screen1.do</pattern>
  <pattern>/screen2.do</pattern>
</decorator>
</decorators>

No luck--I get the undecorated page back. If I copy the same pattern over into web.xml, my screens are decorated properly:

<filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>/screen1.do</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

We're using (as can be seen in the URL) SiteMesh in conjunction with Struts, so a typical URL for the new screens looks something like:

http://localhost/myWebApp/screen1.do?field1=something&field2=somethingElse

So... what am I missing here?  Another question: is explicitly calling out the URLs for the SiteMesh-enabled pages the best way to handle this problem?  The PageDecoratorMapper, with its ability to check a page's metadata, looked pretty interesting.
