Why not try loading the AjaxViewRoot in your application's faces-config.xml. Or, rename the shale view jar to something like aaa-shale-view.jar. > Can anyone shed some light on my confusion?

In shale's case, it was done to catch exceptions raised by JSP to make sure that the view controller callback contracts worked. In JSF 1.2 the lifecycle is an extension point that can be decorated which would be a better option now that it's avaiable.
