Renderer for CustomMessageTag - help needed

[Michael Heinen]

I am going mad with a custom Renderer ! I created a custom tag that extends HtmlMessageTag. My CustomMessageRenderer shpuld be sued for this tag. The normal HtmlMessageTag should be rendered as before.   Problem: I don't get the CustomMessageRenderer mapped to my tag. Could anybody have a look and give me a hint?   facesConfig.xml: <component>     <component-type>com.recommind.faces.messages.CustomMessage</component-type>     <component-class>com.recommind.faces.messages.CustomMessage</component-class> </component>   <render-kit> <render-kit-id>HTML_BASIC</render-kit-id>             <renderer>                         <component-family>recommind.faces.Message</component-family>                         <renderer-type>com.recommind.faces.messages.CustomMessage</renderer-type>                         <renderer-class>com.recommind.faces.messages.CustomMessageRenderer</renderer-class>             </renderer>                   </render-kit>   Following classes are in package com.recommind.faces.messages: public class CustomMessage extends HtmlMessage{             public static final String COMPONENT_TYPE = "com.recommind.faces.messages.CustomMessage";             private String customMessage;             (... getters and setters, saveState and restoreState ... ) }   public class CustomMessageTag extends HtmlMessageTag{   private String customMessage;   public String getRendererType() {      return "com.recommind.faces.messages.CustomMessage";   }               public String getComponentType(){        return CustomMessage.COMPONENT_TYPE;   }   (... getters and setters ... ) }   public class CustomMessageRenderer extends HtmlMessageRenderer{   protected void renderSingleFacesMessage ( ...) {    …     } }   Thanks, Michael
