Problem using <jsp:include>

[perfectpitch]

Hi! In my application, the main JSP page contains a tabPanel (with switchType set on 'ajax') and tabs code is contained in other files (tab1.jsp, tab2.jsp and so on).

I'm using <jsp:include> to include the tabs code into the main JSP page, but in this case AJAX calls for tab-switching are never performed, while if I replace the <jsp:include> instruction with the real code contained in tabX.jsp the application works well.

Is this a known problem, or am I doing something wrong? Using Facelets for a 'modular' approach like mine could be a good solution? Thanks in advance.

Oops, I forgot to mention that I'm using Richfaces 3.0.1 and A4j 1.1.1 under Websphere Process Server 6.0

Check please a4j:log for some messages. And also check for validation conversion problems on the same form with tabPanel.

And paste your sources if this will not help.

Looking at the log after a failed tab-switch I see no errors occurring:
