David,
The problem here is that page scope is not visible to JSF expressions
... only request, session, and application are visible. The reason
for this is that JSF expressions can be evaluated programmatically, in
contexts where there is no JSP page, so there would be no way to
access a PageContext.
Can <portlet:defineObjects> put things in other scopes instead? If
not, that's a suggestion you might want to take back to the portlet
spec expert group.
