ICEfaces 2.0 Components Aren't Rendering!

Yep, I'm making the switch, and if you're searching for this phrase, I bet you are, too.

The thing is, ICEfaces 2.0 is basically re-using the components from ICEfaces 1.8 (Which is why you're using the same namespaces at the top of your XHTML file.)  Unfortunately, it does mean that you have to specifically tell your application to use those older components.  

Add these lines to your web.xml:

<servlet>

<servlet-name>Resource Servlet</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>com.icesoft.faces.webapp.CompatResourceServlet</servlet-class>

<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>Resource Servlet</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>/xmlhttp/*

</servlet-mapping>

And make sure you're importing the icefaces-compat.jar into your app.
