Re: sitemesh + ww1 + velocity

Jan,

We use a custom servlet dispatcher, which doesn't clean up the action
context, and then a servlet filter that runs after sitemesh.

Alternatively, use content blocks inside the page which you can then
access from the decorator.  This is what we do in Confluence.

Cheers,
Scott
