I have created a basic JSF template called Template.xhtml. This template is then being used by the page TestPage.xhtml. In my TestPage.xhtml i have only used the <ui:define> tag to override the pages title. Therefore, I would have expected the rest of the templates content to be displayed the same. However, only the header and footer of the template are being displayed.
Template.xhtml

Does anybody know why the footer and header sections are being displayed as part of the template, but why the other content and sidebar sections are not (despite me not overriding them).
Thanks.
