I m trying to integrate sitemesh into my struts2 app, but i m finding that it s not making any difference and isn t showing any errors (or anything sitemesh related at all) in the logs.
I ve started by following all the documentation on the sitemesh site, had no luck, so now i m trying to copy what s been done in the sitemesh-example download, to no avail. Any ideas would be great.
