taglib component class

[Eric Härtel]

Hi rancher,

with myfaces I try to write my own taglib. I defined a tag in the TLD as following:

...
<tag>
  <name>diagram</name>
  <tag-class>com.company.component.basic.diagram.DiagramTag</tag-class>
  <body-content>JSP</body-content>
  <attribute>
   <name>id</name>
   <required>true</required>
   <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
   <type>java.lang.String</type>
  </attribute>
  <attribute>
   <description>CSS style definittion</description>
   <name>style</name>
   <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
   <type>java.lang.String</type>
  </attribute>
  <attribute>
   <description>diagram width</description>
   <name>width</name>
   <required>true</required>
   <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
   <type>int</type>
  </attribute>
  <attribute>
   <description>diagram height</description>
   <name>height</name>
   <required>true</required>
   <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
   <type>int</type>
  </attribute>
  <attribute>
   <description>a custom CSS file containing the style definition</description>
   <name>cssFile</name>
   <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
   <type>String</type>
  </attribute>
</tag>    

In the DiagramTag class all values are set correctly, but in the setProperties(UIComponent) where I expect an instance of my Diagram component class I receive a org.ajax4jsf.component.AjaxViewRoot
Furthermore, I wonder why the function getComponentType is not called. This methode would explain what is the right component class.

Has anybody an idea what could be the reason of the problem?

Greetings
Eric

Just is anybody is interested in the solution: I forgot to put view container around.
