I tried facelets once. I got fed up by the tomahawk components and the extra file you needed. I had troubles with it all the time.
Plus sitemesh is nice that you can do decorators based on paths so it saves a lot of un-needed work of doing something for every single page. Personally I'd rather use Tiles than Facelets because I know Tiles will work if I have to use it. But Tiles is a bunch of un-needed work per page too. I used Sitemesh on Struts 2 and like it a lot. Trying to get it to work on JSF though. I've been messing around with MyFaces source and Sitemesh source to figure out a solution but alas I don't know enough about either to make any progress.

I seem to remember having similar issues with Sitemesh when I tried to incorporate components into the actual template. It became a moot point after I switched to Facelets, as Facelets accomplished all the templating I needed. Would switching to Facelets be an option for you ?
