I have been stuck on this issue for the last two days. Can anyone see what the problem is? I have no idea at all

Two things:
First, your project structure is incorrect. All web files have to go inside WebContent.
root
...
WebContent
META-INF
resources
css
images
javascript
templates
commonLayout.xhtml
footer.xhtml
header.xhtml
views
main
index.xhtml
WEB-INF
index.jsp
This would however have produced a 404 error rather than this exception. So I'll assume that it was just your carelessness during formulating the question.
Second, if the template path in ui:composition starts with /, then it is relative to the WebContent. But if it does not start with /, then it is relative to the current file. As you currently have, Facelets will attempt to load the template from /views/main/templates/commonLayout.xhtml which is indeed incorrect. So, fix your template path as follows:
<ui:composition template="/templates/commonLayout.xhtml">

JSF Bookmarkable URL to update ui:decorate value

Need help here. I'm trying to make my current project bookmarkable. My current design can basically be summed up in this code snippet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core">
<f:metadata>
<f:viewParam name="contentUrl" value="#{navigationBean.contentUrl}"/>
</f:metadata>
<h:body>
<ui:composition template="/views/template/template.xhtml">
<ui:define name="leftpane">
<ui:include src="/views/admin/menu_administrator.xhtml"/>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="rightpane">
<p:growl showDetail="true" sticky="false" />
<ui:decorate template="/views/admin/content/#{navigationBean.contentUrl}.xhtml"/>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
</h:body>
</html>
So I have this template to make the site 30/70 look having the "leftpane" contain the menu and the "rightpane" to display the output content. What I want is to be able to change the output in the "rightpane" depending on the URL sent:
www.mysite.com/projectitle/views/admin/Administrator.xhtml?faces-redirect=true&contentUrl=cont_admin_rapptmnttype
Whatever will be constructed in this url: /views/admin/content/#{navigationBean.contentUrl}.xhtml on the "rightpane" also has a corresponding backing bean to generate the needed output
I'm using Primefaces3.5, MyFaces2.0, WAS8.5
Hope someone could help me out on this. Thanks.
UPDATE:
I am using a p:menuitem to set the contentUrl like
<p:menuitem value="Appointment Type" id="cont_admin_rapptmnttype"
ajax="false" outcome="#{navigationBean.currentMode}" >
<f:param name="contentUrl" value="cont_admin_rapptmnttype"/>
</p:menuitem>
But when I click on the menuitem I get a Stackoverflow exception which, as it turns, is caused by:
<ui:decorate template="/views/admin/content/#{navigationBean.contentUrl}.xhtml"/>
Which is the one I'm trying to update.
Here is the recurring exception in the stacktrace:

JSF2.0 Composite Component not getting rendered in MYFaces

I developed a sample project to test composite components in JSF2.0.
Here is my sample code
My test file
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:composite="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite"
xmlns:tp="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/test"
>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h:outputLabel value="Success"/>
<tp:loginComponent
usernameLabel="Enter User Name: "
usernameValue="#{login.name}" />
</h:form>
</h:body>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:composite="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite"
>
<composite:interface>
<composite:attribute name="usernameLabel" />
<composite:attribute name="usernameValue" />
</composite:interface>
<composite:implementation>
<h:form>
#{cc.attrs.usernameLabel} :
<h:inputText id="username" value="#{cc.attrs.usernameValue}" />
</h:form>
</composite:implementation>
When I deploy it on Websphere 8.5 the composite component is not getting rendered.Please help me identify the issue
Thanks
You have to adjust the location and name of the file. Otherwise JSF won't find it.
The line
xmlns:tp="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/test"
Points JSF to the folder resources/test (relative to the root of your web pages). Assuming WebContent is the root for your webpages the resources folder should be inside that.
When JSF sees <tp:loginComponent .... /> it is going to look in the folder for a file called loginComponent.xhtml.
EDIT
Because there can be many kinds of resources in your resources folder it is best to create a subfolder for components. I usually call it comps. So that would give you the path
/WebContent/resources/comps place in this folder a file named loginComponent.xhtml with your component.
Change the namespace line to: xmlns:tp="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/comps" (that comps is in resources is implied but not specified in the URL).

PrimeFaces tags not recognised

I am new to JSF and Primefaces and have created a project with JSF2.0, Glassfish v3.0 and Jdk 6.0.Now want to use Primefaces tags instead of JSF tags.
I have downloaded primefaces-3.5.jar and added it into WEB-INF/lib folder and it well recognized into my *.xhtml pages.
But when I try to run the application it does not recognizes the PrimeFaces tags.
for Example:
if I insert:
<p:inputText id="username" validator="#{regBean.username}" required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter Username"/>
instead of:
<h:inputText id="username" value="#{regBean.username}" required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter Username!"/>
it does not show the input box in the Web Application.
Do I need to include any configuration details in web.xml file?
please suggest!!
Try something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<h:head>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h:form>
<p:editor></p:editor>
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
Also make sure you have primefaces.jar in your path.

JSF 2.0 and Primefaces with Facelets

I'm trying to incorporate primefaces into my JSF 2.0 web project.
I've recently updated from facelets 1.x to 2.0 and Added primefaces jar to my library folder. Everything is fine except, the way I have my templates structured has a conflict with the primefaces.
my template.xhtml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core">
<h:head>
<title><ui:insert name="title">MILO</ui:insert></title>
//Css
//js
</h:head>
<h:body class="milo">
<h:form styleClass="miloForm" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div id="container">
<ui:insert name="header">
<ui:include src="/WEB-INF/templates/header.xhtml"/>
</ui:insert>
<ui:insert name="content">
<!-- include your content file or uncomment the include below and create content.xhtml in this directory -->
</ui:insert>
<ui:insert name="footer">
<ui:include src="/WEB-INF/templates/footer.xhtml"/>
</ui:insert> </div>
</h:form>
</h:body>
And my index.xhtml looked like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui">
<ui:composition template="/WEB-INF/templates/base.xhtml">
<ui:define name="content">
<p:editor/>
</ui:define>
Once I have this, the p:editor won't show up. any ideas why? the console won't show me any warnings/errors.
EDIT>>> Found JS Error
In your template.xhtml, you need to replace <head> by <h:head> and <body> by <h:body>. You shouldn't add another ones, that would only result in invalid HTML.
Particularly the <h:head> is mandatory as it allows component libraries like PrimeFaces to auto-include the necessary CSS/JS files by resource dependency injection. The <h:body> is only mandatory whenever you have <h:outputScript> elements with a target="body" so that they will be auto-relocated to the very bottom of the generated HTML <body> element.
Update your concrete problem is caused by a conflict in the manually loaded jQuery library and the one which is auto-included by PrimeFaces. PrimeFaces uses jQuery and jQuery UI under the covers. If you stick to using PrimeFaces, I'd recommend to drop the manually loaded jQuery and use the PrimeFaces-bundled one instead. To cover pages where you don't use PrimeFaces components as well, you can explicitly load PrimeFaces-bundled jQuery for every page by adding the following line to the <h:head>:
<h:outputScript library="primefaces" name="jquery/jquery.js" />

ui:include src attribute's EL is resolved to null in composite component

I have composite component as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:cc="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core">
<cc:interface>
<cc:attribute name="path" shortDescription="Page Title" type="String"/>
</cc:interface>
<cc:implementation>
<ui:include src="#{cc.attrs.path}"/>
</cc:implementation>
</html>
Problem with above code is #{cc.attrs.path} is resolved to null. If src is hardcoded then ui:include works fine.
Tried checking #{cc.attrs.path} with h:outputText and path is displayed correctly, that means only in case of ui:include EL is not resolved. Any help?
This code works just fine on my computer. The EL is resolved in any case, but I think the include failed because the file you try to include is malformed, or does not exist.
Maybe you could tell us what kind of file you try to include, and then give us a portion of this file ?
