Hi,
I've a few questions regarding how Shale handles views and suvbviews:
1. Why a redirect to somepage.faces (in the index.jsp for example)
will output a blank screen. I used to do that in my regular My Faces
application, but it doesn't seem to work with Shale.
2. Do I have to create a managed bean for each jsp page? Before
Shale I didn't have to do that, JSF would build the view from the jsp
file. From what I've got so far from the samples, I have to register a
managed bean for each view in Shale. If I run a <jsp:forward
page="menu.faces"/>, without creating the managed bean I get an error
saying that it could not find the bean #{menu}
3. I tried a simple clay configuration (shown below). The idea was
to encapsulate a composite component inside a subview. When Shale
execute the clay tag lib I get an error asking for a bean #{subview}.
This error got me confused, I thought the subview was a implementation
of the <f:subview> component. What is happening here?

<-- This line causes the error. If I use baseOutput instead, everything
goes fine.
