        </p:layoutUnit>
        <p:layoutUnit position="center">
            <p:layout>
                <p:layoutUnit position="north">
                    <h:outputText value="tabs"/>
                    <ui:include src="/tabs/tabs.xhtml"/>
                </p:layoutUnit>
                <p:layoutUnit position="west">
                    <h:outputText value="left menu"></h:outputText>
                </p:layoutUnit>
                <p:layoutUnit position="center">
                    <h:outputText value="main-content"></h:outputText>
                </p:layoutUnit>
            </p:layout>
        </p:layoutUnit>
        <p:layoutUnit position="south" size="100">
            <h:outputText value="footer"></h:outputText>
        </p:layoutUnit>
    </p:layout>
</h:body>
</html>

I have tabs.xhtml file at /tabs/tabs.xhtml

 <h:head>

</h:head>


<p:tabMenu activeIndex="#{param.i}">
    <p:menuitem value="Overview" outcome="index">
        <f:param name="i" value="0" />
    </p:menuitem>
    <p:menuitem value="Demos" outcome="index">
        <f:param name="i" value="1" />
    </p:menuitem>
    <p:menuitem value="Documentation" outcome="index">
        <f:param name="i" value="2" />
    </p:menuitem>
    <p:menuitem value="Support" outcome="index">
        <f:param name="i" value="3" />
    </p:menuitem>
    <p:menuitem value="Social" outcome="index">
        <f:param name="i" value="4" />
    </p:menuitem>
</p:tabMenu>

I am getting the following exception because of the ui include tag in template.xhtml. Is the src attribute of ui include is wrong.:

Answer 1

The ui:include tag is working as expected. The problem is inside tabx.xhtml. For the menuitems your have outcome="index" and my money is on the index.xhtml not in the same folder as tab.xhtml. Either make sure the outcome is a relative link like ../index or make it absolute like /index.

For further assistance you should post your directory structure.
