Use SiteMesh to decorate multiple webapps

Did you know it's possible to decorate multiple webapps with the same SiteMesh decorator? I learned how to do this from the SiteMesh mailing list:

  • Put sitemesh.jar in your container's classpath. You could put it into each webapp's WEB-INF/lib, but it looks like there's problems with that.
  • Create and deploy a webapp that contains the common decorator.
  • In each webapp's decorators.xml, add a "webapp" attribute to point to the webapp you deployed in Step 2. 
    <decorators>
    <!-- load decorator from a different web-app deployed in the server -->
    <decorator name="main" webapp="some-other-webapp" 
        page="/decorators/main.jsp">
        <pattern>/*</pattern>
    </decorator>
</decorators>

Try to do *that* with Tiles. ;-)
