Again... thanks for the quick replies... I found a fix to my problem.
Apparently "header" is a reserved word and cannot be used as the name of the managed bean. Originally this was my bean definition: <managed-bean> <managed-bean-name>header</managed-bean-name> <managed-bean-class>com.prenet.cpt.presentation.Header</managed-bean-class> <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope> </managed-bean> When I renamed it to header123... <managed-bean> <managed-bean-name>header123</managed-bean-name> <managed-bean-class>com.prenet.cpt.presentation.Header</managed-bean-class> <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope> </managed-bean> Things all started working. Sheesh! I wish JSF would have complained more loudly about the misconfiguration.
