Neil, we were actually discussing that in another thread =>

My point was a slight variation of yours. I'm concerned that these
composite component templates are exposed as public pages. I would prefer if
we mirror the resources directory under WEB-INF so that you can have both a
public and a private repository.
...but as it stands now, the folder name resources is hard-coded. As Ed
points out, you have to use a Facelets configuration file to relocate the
template.
