JSF Menus not getting displayed

Question

I am having menu.jsp the contents are as follows

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk" prefix="t" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<html>
<head>
  <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
  <title>MyFaces - the free JSF Implementation</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<%= request.getContextPath() %>/pages/css/basic.css" />
</head>
<body>
<f:view>

  <jsp:include page="menucontents.jsp" /> 
</f:view>
</body>
</html>

The Contents for the menucontents.jsp are as follows

<f:subview id="menucontents">
    <f:loadBundle basename="com.cpc.resources.menu" var="menu"/>
    <t:div id="hNav_outer">
        <t:panelNavigation2 id="nav1" layout="list" itemClass="off" activeItemClass="on" openItemClass="on"
                            renderAll="true">
            <t:commandNavigation2 value="#{menu['menu_Home']}" style="padding-left: 0px;">
                <t:commandNavigation2>
                    <f:verbatim>&#8250; </f:verbatim>
                    <t:outputText value="#{menu['menu_Home']}"/>
                </t:commandNavigation2>
            </t:commandNavigation2>
            <t:commandNavigation2 value="#{menu['menu_admin']}" style="padding-left: 150px;">
                <t:commandNavigation2>
                    <f:verbatim>&#8250; </f:verbatim>
                    <t:outputText value="#{menu['menu_admin_change_password']}"/>
                </t:commandNavigation2>
                <t:commandNavigation2>
                    <f:verbatim>&#8250; </f:verbatim>
                    <t:outputText value="#{menu['menu_admin_forgot_password']}"/>
                </t:commandNavigation2>
            </t:commandNavigation2>

        </t:panelNavigation2>
    </t:div>
</f:subview>

When I call menu.jsp for some reason I am not able to view the menus which I have configured I only see "› › › " in the browser.

when I do a view source I see the following html

<html>
<head>
  <meta HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
  <title>MyFaces - the free JSF Implementation</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/cpcnew/pages/css/basic.css" />
</head>
<body>



<f:subview id="menucontents">
    <f:loadBundle basename="com.cpc.resources.menu" var="menu"/>
    <t:div id="hNav_outer">
        <t:panelNavigation2 id="nav1" layout="list" itemClass="off" activeItemClass="on" openItemClass="on"
                            renderAll="true">
            <t:commandNavigation2 value="#{menu['menu_Home']}" style="padding-left: 0px;">
                <t:commandNavigation2>
                    <f:verbatim>&#8250; </f:verbatim>
                    <t:outputText value="#{menu['menu_Home']}"/>
                </t:commandNavigation2>
            </t:commandNavigation2>
            <t:commandNavigation2 value="#{menu['menu_admin']}" style="padding-left: 150px;">
                <t:commandNavigation2>
                    <f:verbatim>&#8250; </f:verbatim>
                    <t:outputText value="#{menu['menu_admin_change_password']}"/>
                </t:commandNavigation2>
                <t:commandNavigation2>
                    <f:verbatim>&#8250; </f:verbatim>
                    <t:outputText value="#{menu['menu_admin_forgot_password']}"/>
                </t:commandNavigation2>
            </t:commandNavigation2>

        </t:panelNavigation2>
    </t:div>
</f:subview>



<script type="text/javascript"><!--

    function getScrolling()
    {
        var x = 0; var y = 0;if (self.pageXOffset || self.pageYOffset)
        {
            x = self.pageXOffset;
            y = self.pageYOffset;
        }
         else if ((document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollLeft)||(document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop))
        {
            x = document.documentElement.scrollLeft;
            y = document.documentElement.scrollTop;
        }
         else if (document.body) 
        {
            x = document.body.scrollLeft;
            y = document.body.scrollTop;
        }
        return x + "," + y;
    }

//--></script>
</body>
</html>

I am very close yet so far would appreciate if some one can help me in figuring out the problem

Is this the complete include page? The taglibs are missing in the file header.

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk" prefix="t" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>

That's also why they appeared plain vanilla in the HTML output.

Did you clean/redeploy/restart? Old file might be still in server work cache. – BalusC Feb 10 '11 at 22:26
Just did that and i still cannot see the formatted menu..... I cannot post the html over here can I post that html in a new question – Ameya Thakur Feb 10 '11 at 22:34
But when you add the taglibs, you should not see the JSF tags in generated HTML anymore. Is this true for you? – BalusC Feb 10 '11 at 22:40
Now I dont see the JSF code in the generated HTML I think those are not styled – Ameya Thakur Feb 10 '11 at 22:47
Ah OK, then the concrete problem is indeed fixed. As to the new problem, did it originally work when it was not in the include file? – BalusC Feb 10 '11 at 22:50
yes the menus worked very well standalone the prodblem started when I started to include the file in the jsp – Ameya Thakur Feb 10 '11 at 22:53
Edit: comment moved to your new question. – BalusC Feb 10 '11 at 22:57
@BalusC the path is the same which was working in the standalone file ... one thing which I need to confirm is where do I need to include that css file in the menu.jsp or menucontent.jsp currently it is there in the menu.jsp – Ameya Thakur Feb 10 '11 at 23:00
