The following steps demonstrate the problem in JDeveloper 11.1.1.4:

1. Create a new application:
     Name: application1
     Template: Webcenter Portal Application
     Project 1 name: Portal
     Project 2 Name: PortalWebAssets

2. Start Integrated WLS Server ( run - Start Server Instance)

3. Register OmniPortlet Provider:
     - Under application Resources
     - Connection , Right Click New connection, Oracle PDK Java Producer
     - Enter Name: Omniportletproducer
     - URL http://127.0.0.1:<PORT>/portalTools/omniPortlet/providers/omniPortlet
     - Finish

4. Under Portal - WebContent - oracle - webcenter - portalapp - pages

5.  Right Click on Pages, New - JSF - JSF Page
        Name: page1.jspx
        Create as XML document ( .jspx)

        Blank Page

6. Drag OmniPortlet from left onto the Page1, (Select ADF Rich Portlet)

7. Application - Secure - Users - Create a new test user, Close jazn-data.xml and Save changes

8. Right click on page 1 and go to Page definition of Page1 ,

9. At bottom left pane, right click on page1PageDef.xml , select Edit authorization

10. Grant to: Add user: Enter the test user name created in step 7.

      The steps so far shows Portlet  placed on JSF page directly works ok.

12. Click on Page1, and delete the Omniportlet.

13. Under Portal - WebContent - oracle - webcenter - portalapp - pages

14. Right Click on Pages, New - JSF - JSF Page Fragment
         Name: frag1.jsff
         Blank Page

        Confirm Add SubViewElement: Yes, Component Identifier : Myfrag1

       <f:subview id="myfrag1">
       <jsp:include page="/oracle/webcenter/portalapp/pages/frag1.jsff"/>
