SiteMesh 2.4.2 + Spring MVC 3.0.4 - using multiple decorators

Question

I'm developing an application that uses SiteMesh 2.4.2 together with Spring MVC.

I'd like to have two decorators, e.g. :

<decorators>
  <decorator name="special" page="/WEB-INF/jsp/specialtemplate.jsp">
    <pattern>/something/*</pattern>
  </decorator> 

  <decorator name="main" page="/WEB-INF/jsp/pagetemplate.jsp">
    <pattern>/*</pattern>
  </decorator>
</decorators>

The problem is that only the main decorator is applied (also for pages /something/...)

How should I properly configure the decorators, so that for pages from /something/... the dedicated one is used?

the urls I'd like to use the specific template looks like http://server/context/something/etc

Answer 1

Include the * symbol before the line

<decorator name="special" page="/WEB-INF/jsp/specialtemplate.jsp">
    <pattern>*/something/*</pattern>
</decorator>
