To be able to specify which mappers will be applied to a request, create the file [web-app]/WEB-INF/sitemesh.xml
that contains the following:
<sitemesh>
<property name="decorators-file" value="/WEB-INF/decorators.xml" />
<excludes file="${decorators-file}" />
<page-parsers>
<parser content-type="text/html"
class="com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.parser.FastPageParser" />
<parser content-type="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"
class="com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.parser.FastPageParser" />
</page-parsers>
<decorator-mappers>
<mapper class="com.opensymphony.module.sitemesh.mapper.ConfigDecoratorMapper">
<param name="config" value="${decorators-file}" />
</mapper>
</decorator-mappers>
</sitemesh>
in this example, the only mapper that will be applied is the ConfigDecoratorMapper
, and that will only be applied to responses of type text/html
or text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
. Responses of any other content type (eg image/gif
) will be ignored by Sitemesh. Additionally, any files that match a pattern specified in the excludes
file (in this case '/WEB-INF/decorators.xml'
) will not be touched by Sitemesh.
