<f:view> WSViewRoot incompatible with UIOutput ClassCastException

 

This is the type of exception messages you get when you try and deploy a JSF page that uses JSF custom tags, but does not have an f:view tag surrounding the tags.

All JSF tags must, at some point in their hierarchy, be surrounded by <f:view> … </f:view> tags.
