I've been able to reproduce your issue using 1.2_02. The good news is
1.2_03 (still in RC stages) seems
to resolve the issue.
You have a couple of choices:
1. Download and test with the latest GF V2 builds (build 24 or later)
2. Go to
https://javaserverfaces.dev.java.net and click the download
link for JSF 1.2_03 RC3. This link will take you to the download
location which has the standalone JARs as well as an updater
which will upgrade your existing GlassFish installation with the
new JARs
(instructions for it's use are outline there)
If the 1.2_03 RC version of JSF doesn't resolve your issue, let us know.
Thanks,
