Migrating from JSF 1.1 to JSF 1.2

Question

I'm migrating an existing JSF 1.1 application that was based closely on the examples in the Core JavaServer Faces book. I'm having a very specific problem getting pages to render once I log into the application. Specifically the code associated with the TabbedPaneRenderer specified in chapter 9. The application worked fine under JSF 1.1 but after upgrading to 1.2 it seems that the functionality that was provided with the includePage method will no longer work.
The source code that was implemented is as follows:
   private void includePage(FacesContext fc, UIComponent component) {
     FacesContext     ctx        =  FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
     VariableResolver vr         =  ctx.getApplication().getVariableResolver();
     ExternalContext  ec         =  fc.getExternalContext();
     ServletContext   sc         =  (ServletContext) ec.getContext();
     UITabbedPane     tabbedPane =  (UITabbedPane) component;
     String           content    =  tabbedPane.getContent();
     ServletRequest  request  = (ServletRequest) ec.getRequest();
     ServletResponse response = (ServletResponse) ec.getResponse();
     try {
       sc.getRequestDispatcher(content).include(request, response);
     } catch (ServletException ex) {
       logError(ctx, vr, "Couldn't load page " + content + ": " + ex);
     } catch (IOException ex) {
       logError(ctx, vr, "Couldn't load page: " + content + ": " + ex);
   }This code is called from the encodeEnd method of the Renderer. Unfortunately the page that is being included never gets rendered. How should this be done in the JSF 1.2 implementation?
Thanks for the help...

Hello cmathrusse,
I just ran across the same issue. We were using JSF 1.1 and tomcat 5 and JDK 1.5 and and Tiles 1.1. We are migrating to JSF 2.0 JDK 1.6 and Tomcat 6 and our Custom Component also doesnt show up. I believe we are in the same situation.
Did you ever fig out the issue?
Thanks,
