How to configure web.xml for multiple url-pattern for sitemesh filter. i believe i'm using servlet api 2.5

Question

i've been struggling to enable multiple ulr-pattern for a web site using Spring mvc 3.0.5 sitemesh 2.4.2.my container is tomcat 6.0.26 my pom looks like this:

 <dependency>
   <groupId>org.freemarker</groupId>
     <artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
            <version>2.3.14</version>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
   <groupId>opensymphony</groupId>
      <artifactId>sitemesh</artifactId>
          <version>2.4.2</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
 </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet.jsp</groupId>
      <artifactId>jsp-api</artifactId>
      <version>2.1</version>
      <scope>provided</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
      <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
       <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
          <version>2.5</version>
          <scope>provided</scope>
  </dependency>

i'm using another view technology which is ZK for the admin site of the application.

sitemesh is supposed to take care of /site/* and leave the /admin/* every was fine until this week i wanted to add mobile wap view for the app.am not providing any site redirecting of the kind m.mysite.com or mysite.mobi , i'm just using spring mvc request mapping to have /wap/* which point to the same controllers and action as /site/*. so my problem would be telling sitemesh to handle /wap/* too.

my web.xml looks like this:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>sitemesh-freemarker</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>freemarker.ext.servlet.FreemarkerServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>TemplatePath</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/ui/views</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>NoCache</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>ContentType</param-name>
        <param-value>text/html; charset=UTF-8</param-value>
        <!-- Forces UTF-8 output encoding! -->
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<!--  FreeMaker section   -->



<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>sitemesh-freemarker</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.ftd</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>sitemesh-freemarker</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.ftl</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>sitemesh-freemarker</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>sitemesh-freemarker</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.dec</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<!--  End FreeMaker section  -->



<!-- Sitemesh -->

<filter>
    <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
    <filter-class>com.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.SiteMeshFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<!--  Sitemesh   -->
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/site/*</url-pattern> <!--this is decorated-->
    <url-pattern>/wap/*</url-pattern> <!--this is not -->
    <!--<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>-->
    <!--<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>-->
</filter-mapping>

<!--this bellow doesn't work as page not decorated-->
<!--<filter-mapping>-->
    <!--<filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>-->
    <!--<url-pattern>/wap/*</url-pattern>-->
<!--</filter-mapping>-->
<!-- End of Sitemesh   -->

According to coderanch both are supposed to work though it's not about sitemesh. I think it doesn't matter since siteMeshFilter implements javax.servlet.Filter

this is my HomeController action

@RequestMapping("/")
public String index(HttpServletRequest request) {
    final org.springframework.mobile.device.Device device = DeviceUtils.getCurrentDevice(request);

    if(device.isMobile()){
        return "redirect:/site/waphome";
    } else {
        return "redirect:/site/home";
    }

}


@RequestMapping(value = {"/site","/site/home","/site/home","/wap","/wap/","/wap/home"})
public String home(Model model, HttpServletRequest request, HttpSession session) {
    final org.springframework.mobile.device.Device device = DeviceUtils.getCurrentDevice(request);

   // ....

    if(device.isMobile()){
        return "waphome";
    } else {
        return "home";
    }

}

Never mind, i forgot to put the pattern in the decorator.xml
