Is it possible to nest SiteMesh decorators? Not sure how I should be structuring Spring MVC views consisting for several reusable sub components. Eg. I have a decorator 'main' like <html> <head></head> <body> (footer...) (navigation...) (menus...) <decorator:body/> (footer...) </body> <html> Now I need a more specific version where the <decorator:body/> contains other sub-components. Reading the documentation suggests I can only duplicate the decorator a second time lets say to 'detailed.jsp' and replace the above <decorator:body/> with several <page:apply-decorator> tags. Obviously this duplicates a lot of the shared page layout all the (footer...) (navigation...) (menus...) (footer...) stuff. Is it possible to nest the tags so that the 'detailed.jsp' (page:apply-decorator) tags can be substituted into the body of the main.jsp decorator? something like main.applydecorator(detailed.applydecorator())? I could breakup the shared stuff into jsp includes.. but that seems to negate the usefulness of SiteMesh in the first place (we've already got a site which uses dozens of jsp include chunks and I'm trying to simplify things). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.opensymphony.com/thread.jspa?threadID=7104&messageID=15768#15768 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
