JSF output truncated when integrating with OpenCms

Question

Hi all!
I'm quite new to JSF and am trying to integrate it with OpenCms, a JSP based content management system. In OpenCms all files reside in a virtual filesystem (VFS) and are accessed through the opencms-servlet which is mapped to "/opencms/*".
While trying to integrate JSF with OpenCms I added another prefix servlet mapping for the faces servlet: "/faces/*". When I now try to access a JSF-page I have to use a URL like this:
http://myserver:8080/mywebapp/faces/opencms/page1.jsp
For my understanding the faces servlet now tries to read a file /opencms/page1.jsp from the real filesystem, which does not exist. Is this correct? How could I get faces-servlet to obtain page1.jsp from the VFS? However, I do not get an exception or a message telling me that the resource page1.jsp is missing.
Instead the faces-servlet seems to do it's work and forwards to the opencms-servlet which in turn forwards to the JSP-servlet and processes the JSP. I'm sure the whole JSP is processed as I added log-statements from the beginning to the end, of which all are executed. However, the output of the JSP is truncated whenever there exists at least one JSF tag in the page.
Any ideas what's going wrong here?
Is my understanding of the executing order correct?
many thanks in advance for your help,

Hi!
Working with JSF 1.1 works, but now I want to switch to JSF 1.2, which does not work :-(
I have a simple demo application (webapp 2.4 and webapp 2.5) without OpenCms which works. OpenCms 7.0.2 without JSF works as a 2.4 and as a 2.5 webapp. As soon as I want to access a JSF-page with an URL like http://localhost:8080/opencms-7.0.24/faces/opencms/mypage.jsp I get only truncated output like the following:
<form id="j_id_jsp_2033902881_1" name="j_id_
{code}
Any Ideas what could cause the truncation?
There are now log messages and no exceptions in any logfile :-(
tia,
