My code below is similar to many other fields that ARE validating, but this field will not get decorated for some reason. Possibly because it is in it's own render..?

<a:outputPanel id="cidAjax">
     <s:fragment id="cidFragment" rendered="#{3 == customerSession.orderPaymentMethod.creditCardType}">
          <s:decorate id="cidDecoration" template="layout/cleanEdit.xhtml" encloseTemplate="false">
          <ui:define name="label">
          <label id="creditCardCid_label" for="creditCardCid">CID:</label>
          <h:inputText id="creditCardCid" name="creditCardCid" required="true" value="#{customerSession.orderPaymentMethod.creditCardCid}" size="4" maxlength="4" />
          </ui:define>
          </s:decorate>
     </s:fragment>
</a:outputPanel>

The s:decorate code when it fails to validate the CID field (for american express cards only) is from the same template.

<ui:composition 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:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib">
     
     <s:span styleClass="#{invalid?'errors':''}">
          <ui:insert name="label" /> 
          <s:message styleClass="#{invalid?'errors':''} errorLabelMessage"/>
          <s:validateAll>
                    <ui:insert />
          </s:validateAll>
     </s:span>
     
</ui:composition>

So the CID field should end up with a span around the Label the field and the erromessage in red text.

What am I doing wrong?
