Thanks, Jason!


            resourceUrl =
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(resource);

I'm thinking there may be some possibilities with the ClassLoader generating
a URL that would become the ViewId... but it sounds very hit or miss if JSF
would be able to use that... probably a miss.

Gonna keep banging my head on it,
