Note that I have used a SiteMesh-specific tag library to create the layout. The
decorator:title
tag picks up the title information from the response sent by the front
controller. Similarly, the
decorator:head
and
decorator:body
tags include the information
in the
head
and
body
tags of the original response and put them in the layout. The header
and footer information is consolidated at a common place in the layout. To use this lay-
out framework and the different tags, you must include SiteMesh filter and tag definition
in the
web.xml
file, as shown in Listing 3-55.
