If you are using Velocity for your SiteMesh decorators, we recommend not using the WebWorkVelocityServlet or the SiteMeshVelocityServlet. In fact, we don't recommend you use any servlet at all. Instead, try creating a servlet that extends PageFilter and then using that servlet in place of PageFilter in web.xml. In your cusotm servlet, override the applyDecorator() method and then use WebWork's VelocityManager to access your decorator templates. You can use VelocityManager to create a default Context as well, which will include all the WebWork variables such as $stack. Then simply add the Page object to the context and then you can access the page parts using $page.title, $page.body, etcVelocityPageFilter. This is an extension of the SiteMesh PageFilter, which should be placed in the web.xml in between the ActionContextCleanUp and the FilterDispatcher. Now decorators will access to WebWork variables such as $stack and $page.
