September 2025: Delivered user-facing file upload capability in apache/struts-examples' Sitemesh 3 module. Implemented UploadAction to handle file uploads, updated navigation and pages to surface the feature, added upload-decorator.html styling, and removed an obsolete index.html redirect. This feature enhances the demo’s end-to-end coverage of file upload flows and demonstrates practical Sitemesh 3 integration in a live repository. Commit 5f006c147e3addcd200eb5581db6280e36d6c3a8 ('Integrates upload example with Sitemesh 3').
