If I change the template to
*/WEB-INF/templates/basic.xhtml*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<f:view xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:ui="
http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets";
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; xmlns:f="
http://java.sun.com/jsf/core";>
<ui:insert name="metadata"/>
<html>
<h:head>
<ui:insert name="header"/>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<ui:insert name="content"/>
</h:body>
</html>
</f:view>
Then it seems to work... but the tagdocs on
http://javaserverfaces.java.net/nonav/docs/2.0/vdldocs/facelets/f/metadata.html
say
it should work the way I had things originally.... strange
