Thanks for the response. The header.jsp does indeed have the page directive at the top. <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java" %> <%@ include file="include.jsp" %> the include.jsp has the taglib includes in it.
There are other items in the header.jsp that are using the JSF-EL to access attributes in the session that are rendering fine, so I know the JSP is getting rendered as a jsp. hmmmm. for your other suggestion, using the include directive would "may" not work for me as the header file is included by other jsps that are in different levels of directories. I had chossen to do the jsp:include over the directive, because of previous relative urls in the header, that are now gone. I'll give it a shot - but I'd prefer to figure out why the jsp:include isn't working as expected. I think my issue is that the backing bean isn't getting instantiated on the request for the subview. Is there some rule about how subviews can't talk to different backing beans? Perhaps Shale is doing something to the request? Any further ideas?
