GenericFacesPortlet No Display

Question

I have a simple portlet which extends GenericFacesPortlet, e.g.,

@ManagedBean(name = "create")
@SessionScoped
public class ReleaseCreation extends GenericFacesPortlet {
    public void doView(...) throws... {
        logger.info("doView")
    }

    public void render(...) throws... {
        logger...
    }

    public void processAction(...) throws... {}

    //additional methods...
}

In my portlet.xml is:

<portlet-class>[complete_package].ReleaseCreation</portlet-class>

I'm doing this so on processAction or render I can get/set session attributes. The problem I'm having is that when my portlet loads the contents of my xhtml never displays, but I can see the logged output in the console from render and doView. I've tried invoking super within render in hopes of displaying the page content, but nothing... If I remove the extension of GenericFacesPortlet and revert the portlet-class (in portlet.xml) back to

javax.portlet.faces.GenericFacesPortlet

The portlet renders and functions properly, but I have no access to RenderRequest, RenderResponse, etc...

Can someone shed some light? I'm using Liferay 6.2-ce-ga2 w/ liferay-faces-bridge 3.2.4 and Icefaces 3.3.0, if that helps.

Thanks

Found a similar post which helped answer my question. Once I separated the managed bean from the portlet implementation things started working well.
