Is it possible to decorate more than once in Sitemesh?


I'm trying to do something like this: the layout

For all the requests to /admin/* I need the page to be decorated using the B decorator but also that B decorator has to be included in the content of A decorator which is main application layout.

How can I do that with Sitemesh?

Is it even possible? Or do I have to repeat the same layout from A in the B decorator?

Thanks in advance


Solution

  • To answer my own question. Yes it is possible:

    Using my own example, this is decorator b being decorated by decorator a.

    <page:applyDecorator name="a">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>Decorator B</title>
        <decorator:head/>
    </head>
    <body id="page-home">
        This is a test.
    </body>
    </html>
    </page:applyDecorator>
