Sitemesh 2.4.2: How to use decorators other than body decorator

I am using struts2-archetype-starter Maven template to create Struts2 webapp. Though, I used Struts2 before, I am new to Sitemesh. I have one adminTemplate.jsp in my decorator folder, containing one <decorator:body /> tag.

As we know, body is not the only thing we might want to customize, I need some custom scripts in my page. <decorator:body /> comes above footer (not very good place your scripts).

I also tried to refer to the docs provided by Sitemesh, here:

http://wiki.sitemesh.org/display/sitemesh/Passing+Additional+Elements+to+the+Decorator

But, unfortunately, the page is not having any text at all.

How can I achieve the same? I'm seeking some good docs as well.

Solution

you can insert the head placeholder in the adminTemplate.jsp

<head>
  <title>
    <decorator:title/>
  </title>
  ...
  ...
  <decorator:head/>
</head>

then custom scriptes in your pages.

<head>
  <title>
    page1
  </title>
  <script>
    ....
  </script>
</head>
