Oh, I didn't know what level you were on. I was hoping it was something simple. > I think my issue is that the backing bean isn't getting instantiated > on the request for the subview.

I don't think that Shale has anything to do with this issue and I suspect that if you removed Shale you would still have the same issue. You should be seeing an exception if JSF can't find the managed bean. That's why I asked about the quality of the JSP you are dynamically including. Is here a parent JSP tag that is not visible, rendered="false"? If a parent tag is not visible, the children will not be renderered and your callback won't be invoked.
