multi pages in same decorator configuration file

I use decorator template with sitemesh and have a decorators.xml file like:

    <decorators defaultdir="/WEB-INF/decorators"> 
    <excludes> 
        <pattern>/styles/*</pattern> 
        <pattern>/scripts/*</pattern> 
        <pattern>/images/*</pattern> 
        <pattern>/index.html</pattern> 
    </excludes> 
    <decorator name="layout" page="layout.jsp"> 
        <pattern>/*</pattern> 
    </decorator> 
    </decorators>

I want to add more decorators to this file. I must separate their patterns.

Is there any way without adding patterns for all pages one by one?

i found the solution for this problem. this xml filters pages top-down. so if you want to write a decorator for only a page, you must write;

<decorator name="layout1" page="layout1.jsp"> 
    <pattern>/page1*</pattern> 
</decorator>
<decorator name="layout" page="layout.jsp"> 
    <pattern>/*</pattern> 
</decorator>

so layout.jsp does not work for page1, it is filtered at first decorator.
