To be precise, JSF supports <f:subview> not <h:subview>. It is part of the core library that does not depend on whether you are using HTML rendering. You can use JSP dynamic includes inside an <f:subview> tag, so from that perspective you can use it for reusing "layouts" in a limited sense. Same principle applies with static includes (<% @include file="..." %>). But neither approach provides the full generality of "use a template but customize this part" that Tiles lets you do. Shale's "Clay" plugin provides a different approach to reuse that focuses on extending component definitions, rather than entire pages. The "use cases" example application illustrates a bunch of different ways this capability can be used.
