I successfully managed to make it work sitemesh3 + spring mvc. Decorators can be placed inside WEB-INF without problem

my directory structure is as follow

webapp/WEB-INF$ tree
.
├── enable-jmx.xml
├── lnramirez-servlet.xml
├── sitemesh3.xml
├── urlrewrite.xml
├── views
│   ├── about.jsp
│   ├── blog
│   │   └── list.jsp
│   ├── defaultdecorator.jsp
│   └── home.jsp
└── web.xml

my sitemesh3 configuration

$ cat sitemesh3.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="MacRoman"?>
<sitemesh>
  <mapping path="/*" decorator="/WEB-INF/views/defaultdecorator.jsp"/>
</sitemesh>

and my web.xml

<filter>
    <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.sitemesh.config.ConfigurableSiteMeshFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

<filter>
    <filter-name>HiddenMethodFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.HiddenHttpMethodFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>HiddenMethodFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

<filter>
    <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>
        org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.UrlRewriteFilter
    </filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>UrlRewriteFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

beware if you're using UrlRewriteFilter filter like myself you might run into the same trouble I had. You have to place ConfigurableSiteMeshFilter before other filters.

It worked for me

this works for me:

decorators.xml:

<decorators defaultdir="/WEB-INF/decorators">
    <decorator name="login" page="login_master.jsp">
        <pattern>/login*</pattern>
    </decorator>
    <decorator name="none" page="none.jsp">
        <pattern>/report*</pattern>
    </decorator>
    <decorator name="master" page="master.jsp">
        <pattern>/*</pattern>
    </decorator>
</decorators>

None.jsp:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>
            <decorator:title />
        </title>
        <decorator:head />
    </head>
    <body>
        <decorator:body />
    </body>
</html>
