Buf if I put the suggestion field into a subview, which is included (using jsp:include) on another page of the portlet, then the suggestion field fails to get data, complaining about "Illegal response - couldn't find data start marker." The subview is exactly the same as above, but uses <f:subview id="mysubview"> instead of <f:view> as above. Here is the code for the containing page.

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/portlet/components" prefix="p" %>
<f:view>
<p:portletPage>
<div style="portlet-section-header">
<table style="width:100%;" cellspacing="10" border="5">
<tr>
<td style="width:24%;border-color:#A9A9A9;border-width:2px;border-style:solid;padding:5px;">
<jsp:include page="suggestionChild.jsp"/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</p:portletPage>
</f:view>

I would appreciate any thoughts on getting around this issue. This is all used within a portlet, using jsf 1.2_07, and portlet bridge 1.2.2_0 running on Liferay portal server. quipukit is version 1.4.3.

Thanks in advance,

Joel
