Shale Tiles and JSF integration resulting with a blank page

Hi,

I had this weired issue, after integrating Shale Tiles with JSF and on
navigating to the layout page system throws up a blank page.  Versions I am
using are JSF1.2 RI & Shale Tiles 1.1.0.  

My integration settings shown as below. Can some one review my settings and
let me know where I am going wrong. I did refer to some links over forums,
for others these settings seems to be working. Am kind of lost why I keep
seeing the blank output page.



1.web.xml  ( Added the required tiles setttings to web.xml)
--------- 
  <context-param>
        <param-name>definitions-config</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/tiles-defs.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

  <listener>
    <listener-class>
      org.apache.tiles.listener.TilesListener
    </listener-class>
  </listener> 

2. tiles-defs.xml ( my tiles definition file content)

     <!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC
       "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 1.1//EN"
       "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_1_1.dtd">

   <tiles-definitions>
    <definition name="/secondlayout" template="/WEB-INF/tiles/layout.jsp">
        <put name="header" value="/WEB-INF/tiles/header.jsp" />
    </definition>
   </tiles-definitions>
 

3.layout.jsp ( Template content)

<%@taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-tiles" prefix="tiles"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<f:view>
<html>
  <head>
  <head>
  <body>
   test
      <tiles:attribute name="header" flush="false"/> <!-- tiles
documentation talks about insertAtribute tag but that tag is not available
with tiles bundeled to shale.-->
  </body>
</html>
</f:view> 

4.header.jsp (  header content )
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<%@taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<table width=100%>
	<tr><td> 
	<h:outputText value="Test Header" /> 
	</td></tr>
</table>

5.faces-config.xml ( JSF mapping file defintion)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<faces-config
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_1_2.xsd"
    version="1.2">
    
	<application>
		<view-handler>org.apache.shale.tiles.TilesViewHandler</view-handler>
	</application>

	<navigation-rule>
		<display-name>test</display-name>
		<from-view-id>/test.jsp</from-view-id>
		<navigation-case>
			<from-outcome>success</from-outcome>
			<to-view-id>/secondlayout.jsp</to-view-id>
		</navigation-case>
	</navigation-rule>

</faces-config>


With Thanks
Lax
