Hi Jeff,
the problem with the <t:panelNavigation2/>-tag can be reproduced as follows:
I defined a tiles template containing a <t:panelNavigation2/>
<f:view>
<h:form>
<t:div id="menu" forceId="true">
<t:div id="lftBar" forceId="true">
<f:loadBundle
basename="resources.example_messages"
var="example_messages" />
<t:div id="subnavigation_outer" forceId="true">
<t:div id="subnavigation" forceId="true">
<t:panelNavigation2 id="nav1" layout="list"
itemClass="mypage"
activeItemClass="selected"
openItemClass="selected">
<t:navigationMenuItems
value="#{navigationMenu.panelNavigationItems}" />
</t:panelNavigation2>
</t:div>
</t:div>
</t:div>
<f:subview id="contentView">
<div id="content">
<tiles:insert name="body" flush="false" />
</div>
</f:subview>
</t:div>
</h:form>
</f:view>
Now there can be distinguish two cases:
1.) When I include a page1.jsp for the content-placeholder with a
<h:commandLink/> inside, the menu works as it should.
Example for page1.jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk"; prefix="t"%>
<h:outputText value="Page2"/>
<h:outputText escape="false" value="<br/>"/>
<h:commandLink value="Link" action="test"/>
2.) When I include page2.jsp for the content-placeholder without link,
but just textoutput, the menu dosn't work. It dosn't trigger the
faces-lifecycle on the server.
Example for page2.jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; prefix="f"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk"; prefix="t"%>
<h:outputText value="Page2"/>
If this is realy an error, could't you please report it as a bug?
Thank you,
Rudi

Actually, mon ami, they do. :)
You must be grabbing the wrong examples file. Try going to link [2] and
grabbing the file "tomahawk-examples-1.1.5-SNAPSHOT-bin". You are
probably thinking "but that's tomahawk, not myfaces?" Well they are the
same example apps as what you've downloaded, just newer. You can read a
more detailed explanation from [3]. The confusion is not your fault: we
need to release a new Tomahawk which includes the examples directly on
the download page. We also then need to update that getting started page
so it points to these tomahawk examples, instead of confusing you into
thinking you need the old 1.1.1 examples. I have just now added a
comment to issue [3] to that effect.

Sorry, I don't use Tiles but if it's anything like the other mechanisms
I have used, then yes you can do this.

Hmm this sounds familiar, as if someone else mentioned this on another
thread earlier. However, a quick search of JIRA and the mail archives
didn't turn up anything relevant... Any chance you could provide a
small, contained example of this problem? Then we could start a JIRA for
it to get fixed.
