While looking further into this issue I ran across this web page: http://www.jsffaq.com/Wiki.jsp?page=HowToMaskActualURLToTheJSFPage
which is a copy of the response in this forum thread: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=427&threadID=511578 The solution advocated here is a custom ViewHandler. This would seem to be more upfront work than using Shale Remoting but a better fit into the JSF mechanism. The question I am working on now, is how to get this to work with the Facelets ViewHandler (both would use a decorator pattern) via the standard faces-config.xml and/or web.xml. This takes this thread away from Shale, but I thought I would cap the thread with my current thinking on this.
