sitemesh and struts2 filter priority issue with jetty container?

Question

I am trying to add sitemesh with Struts 2 , but there is this issue of filter priority coming. When I add Struts first and then Sitemesh as :

 <filter>
      <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
      <filter-class>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>
     </filter>

     <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>struts2</filter-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
     </filter-mapping>


     <filter>
        <filter-name>sitemesh</filter-name>
        <filter-class>com.opensymphony.sitemesh.webapp.SiteMeshFilter</filter-class>
     </filter>

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

Struts tags works like but decorator doesn't work with Jetty
(Works fine in tomcat)

If I reverse and put sitemesh first, then decorator work but there comes error with struts2 tags. (Both Jetty and Tomcat)

Thanks.
