Description

When customizing freemarker template folder to any different folder than "template"
<constant name="struts.ui.templateDir" value="WEB-INF/template" /> in struts.xml or
struts.ui.templateDir=WEB-INF/template in struts.properties
struts.ui.theme=xhtml

When browse to a jsp or action page, errors happen because it could not found the template file in parent dir. for example the actionerror.ftl or div-close.ftl in simple theme (template/simple dir), but struts2 try to look up this file in xhtml(template/xhtml dir)
