Disclaimer: I'm currently not using OpenCms, so my help will be very limited 
ATM.

It seems not many people are using OpenCms with JSF and Alcacon is not 
interested in it, which is disappointing, as JSP is a technology which is 
going to die (sooner or later).

However, the last time I used OpenCms with JSF it worked. All I had to do was 
doing all the configuration issues described on the mentioned wiki page. 
Note, that only JSF 1.1 is going to work, which is a  pretty outdated 
version! Which version are you using?

If JSF tags are not translated, it is a common mistake to forget to include 
accoring namespaces at the beginning of the page. Did you do this?
