The exclude parameter doesn't allow URLs with query strings to be excluded.

I'm trying to exclude the followin Tapestry URL/Page from being
decorated - but it doesn't work.

<decorators defaultdir="/decorators">
     <excludes>
         <pattern>/app?service=direct/1/users/$DirectLink$0</pattern>
     </excludes>
     <decorator name="default" page="default.jsp">
         <pattern>/*</pattern>
     </decorator>
</decorators>

Reason from Joe:

Okay, I think I see what's happening. The SiteMesh filter checks to see whether a page should be excluded by looking at
request.getServletPath(), which does not return anything past the
question mark, so the exclude doesn't work. This be a bug in SiteMesh.
