This isn't necessarily a MyFaces question, it's probably more of a tiles integration with JSF, but I'm going for it anyway.
I have a base implementation of a jsf index page which loads a tiles definition... no biggie, that works just fine. The issue comes up with one of my definitions having a tiles def in it. e.g. indexInclude.jsp <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %> <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/tiles" prefix="tiles" %> <f:view> <f:subview id="mainContent"> <tiles:insert attribute="mainContent"/> </f:subview> </f:view> //mainContent in my tiles definitions is mapped to nothing, but my TilesServletController sends it to a predefined page (search.jsp) search.jsp <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/tiles" prefix="tiles" %> <tiles:insert definition="propertySearch" flush="false"/> I have propertySearch to insert two attributes. I've tried wrapping the insert definition on search.jsp with a facet, a view and subview, a view and facet and subview. Nothing seems to keep it from asking me java.lang.IllegalStateException: parent is null? if I remove the tiles:insert and replace it with only text, it seems to work just fine (with a subview, facet, view or anycombo thereof. I did not find this type of question asked in the archives, but I'll concede that my archive search probably wasn't exceptional. any thoughts, thx, timo
