Robert, I haven't figured out Tiles yet with JSF. I got frustrated trying too many things at once, so I backed out my Tiles stuff and just tried to get a simple app working first. My next step is to learn tiles. I have the feeling using Tiles might really complicate the learning process.

Wow! I feel like I'm in left field here.
Let me back up and tell you what I want to accomplish.

I have an existing Struts application which I want to convert to using
JSF. That application uses tiles and prefix mapping. I have the Struts
application set up such that when the user invokes /app/launch, the
Struts controller is invoked (prefix mapping for Struts servlet is
/app/*), looks up the corresponding action mapping,
TilesRequestProcessor resolves the tiles definition then builds my page.

So far, the examples I have provided on this thread use extesion
mapping. This is because I started having so much trouble with prefix
mapping, that I thought if I could get my example working using
extension mapping, I could simply change the mapping and I would be okay.

So before I waste more bandwidth, I'm going to do some more research,
because I obviously don't understand the life cycle.

Thanks for all who have helped so far.
