H:outputText value="#{bean.something}"

Question

Hello togehter!
I want to get all the outputtexts from a bean. (I want to offer to change the language.)
The problem is for my header.jsp and footer.jsp it doesn't work.
It just shows nothing.
I have the same code (h:outputText value="#{bean.something}") in my normal pages and ther it works.
The problem is I think that in my header.jsp and footer.jsp I don't have a f:view.
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="c"%>
<c:facet name="footer">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4" align="center">
                    <tr>
                         <td>
               <h:panelGroup id="footer">
                    <h:outputText value="#{message.footer}"/>
               </h:panelGroup>
          </td>
                    </tr>
               </table>
</c:facet>
That is my footer,jsp
and I include it like tha:
<%@ include file="footer.jsp" %>
So my question is how can I make it work.
I just want to have one header and one footer for all my pages and I want to get the outputtexts from a bean.
Thanks a lot.

When you include pages, you should wrap the included page in f:subview.
The catch is that anything inside an f:subview must be straight JSF. i.e. no <table>, <TR>, or <TD> commands.
Here's a thread with more info on subviews:

Metropolitan is giving you good advice about f:facet and h:panelgroup. Your usage of both of these is incorrect and unnecessary. You should remove the occurrences of these in your file.
