Description

If one looks at the sitemesh example application, an application can have both Freemarker and JSP decorators.

In the sitemesh plugin filter aka --->
<filter>
<filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
<filter-class>
org.apache.struts2.sitemesh.FreeMarkerPageFilter
</filter-class>
</filter>
The logic blinding thinks that all decorators in decorators.xml are freemarker templates.

This would make a configuration such as below impossible --->
<decorator name="velocity" page="velocity.vm">
<pattern>/velocity.html</pattern>
</decorator>

<decorator name="freemarker" page="freemarker.ftl">
<pattern>/freemarker.html</pattern>
</decorator>

<decorator name="test" page="test.jsp">
<pattern>/agent.jsp</pattern>
</decorator>

I would like to also note.
The related issues https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-1744
and https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2246
Further cripple flexibility.
