Attributes specified in a
renderer
tag override any settings in the
@FacesRenderer
annotation.
The
render-kit
element represents a
javax.faces.render.RenderKit
im-
plementation. If no
render-kit-id
is specified, the default HTML render kit is as-
sumed. The
renderer
element represents a
javax.faces.render.Renderer
implementation. By nesting the
renderer
element inside the
render-kit
element,
you are registering the renderer with the
RenderKit
implementation associated with the
render-kit
element.
The
renderer-class
is the fully qualified class name of the
Renderer
.
The
component-family
and
renderer-type
elements are used by a component
to find renderers that can render it. The
component-family
identifier must match
that returned by the component class's
getFamily
method. The component family rep-
resents a component or set of components that a particular renderer can render. The
renderer-type
must match that returned by the
getRendererType
method of the
tag handler class.
By using the component family and renderer type to look up renderers for components,
the JavaServer Faces implementation allows a component to be rendered by multiple ren-
derers and allows a renderer to render multiple components.
Each of the
attribute
tags specifies a render-dependent attribute and its type. The
attribute
element doesn't affect the runtime execution of your application. Rather, it
provides information to tools about the attributes the
Renderer
supports.
