I just tried it, and it certainly does pick it up, although I'm having some trouble with managed properties off the bean (but that's a different issue to explore).
As a general jsf question, I know some tools generated a backing bean per page behind the scenes. The naming scheme here seems odd to me, but does it happen to match the backing beans generated with these types of tools?

Complete configuration instructions are on the website[1]. You can also download a "blank" starter app from the nightly builds area[2].I have a managed bean in a page that is used for various things. I've extended AbstractViewController, and implemented 'init()'. It doesn't get called. I also tried 'preprocess' and 'prerender', just to see what happened. Nothing. My brain is telling me that there must be a place that explicitly maps that "view" with that managed bean. Right now, the managed bean is declared and I'm just using it in the page. It would seem that shale needs a little more info. Like that bean is designated for that page. Any thoughts?
You are correct that Shale does need to know how to get from the view identifier of your page to the managed bean name of the corresponding backing bean (which optionally implements ViewController). The strategy used is pluggable; the default algorithm is described in the Javadocs for DefaultViewControllerMapper[3].Wrong mailing list?
The Struts user list would be the right place for purely Shale related questions (although because Shale is based on JSF there's often a bit of overlap in the audiences that might be interested).Thanks in advance,-Kevin
