I don't have an answer and apparently the problem is fixed now, but I do
have a question about your setup. A while back I created a new JSF
project in NetBeans (not Visual Web Pack) and added facelets support to
it. Once I realized there is no "view controller" I didn't look any
further. What I mean is in Visual Web Pack each pagebean gets
callbacks at different points in the lifecycle such as init(),
preprocess(), prerender(), etc... and this is very very useful to me.
How are you using JSF + Facelets? Did you add the Shale view controller
to it? Are you using something else like JBoss Seam?

I would really love to use facelets, but can't live without the view
controller.

Thank God for JSF 2.0! I can't wait for it, it will solve all of JSF's
problems.


Thanks,
Ryan
