Alright, I looked at the symbols example in the usecases example. Thing I don't like about usecases is it tries to show ever feature and its hard for me to tell one feature from another. Even with the clay example there are 4 different options displayed and I can't separate them.
I like the idea of layout.html in the symbols but I don't like the way it uses the html body. I'm also not fond of declaring a bunch of panels and things inside an XML file. I would rather it was in a JSP file. I would like to be able to use the layout.html but then be able to tie this to a JSP View and supply the title and body content in this JSP body. Can anybody help me piece (pun intended) this together?

The facelets tutorial says it does easy templating but there were no examples on how to do it and I couldn't find one in the documentation. Is there an example of this somewhere?

You may be able to do what you want with Tiles using the JSP tags instead of the XML file. Alternatively, take a look at Facelets or Shale Clay.
