Next, layout_menu.jsp decorates layout_main.jsp to add the menu. The
menu component contains the real menu that is shown to the user once

<div id="header">
<span class="title"> ${title} </span>
<span class="menu">
<s:layout-component name="menu">
Welcome to Stripes Webmail
</s:layout-component>
</span>
</div>
<div id="body">
<s:layout-component name="body"/>
</div>
