What is center-pane-element in Primefaces Layout?

I'm trying to use Primefaces layout, but I get this following error. I googled the error, but I don't see much help elsewhere in the internet.

UI Layout Initialization Error

The center-pane element does not exist.

The center-pane is a required element

What is a center-pane?

Below is the code I have have in my xhtml file.

 <p:layout >  

<p:layoutUnit position="north" >  
    <h:outputText value="North unit content." />  
</p:layoutUnit>

</p:layout>

How is this caused and how can I solve it?

Solution

  • The response is in the answer , if you use the <p:layout> type you need to specify a center layout like that :

    <p:layout >  
<p:layoutUnit position="north" >  
    <h:outputText value="North unit content." />  
</p:layoutUnit>
<p:layoutUnit id="centerLayout" position="center">
 CONTENT 
</p:layoutUnit>
</p:layout>
