Configureing a new renderer
I have a new renderer class I extended from
org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.HtmlMessagesRendererBase named
com.speedy.renderers.HtmlTextMessagesRenderer . I want the component
org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlMessages to use it. The source
code for HtmlMessages has the static variable:
DEFAULT_RENDERER_TYPE = "org.apache.myfaces.Messages";
I am assuming this is the default renderer that the component uses and would
be the renderer-type in my configuration and the renderer class would be my
extended class. I don't know what the component family is though. Is the
component family a super class of the HtmlMessages component or something
entirely different?
<render-kit>
<render-kit-id>some-id</render-kit-id>
<renderer>
<component-family>?????????</component-family>
<renderer-type>org.apache.myfaces.Messages</renderer-type>
<renderer-class>com.speedy.renderers.HtmlTextMessagesRenderer</renderer-
class>
</renderer>
</render-kit>
The components hierarchy of HtmlMessages is:
...
javax.faces.component.UIComponent
javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase
javax.faces.component.UIMessages
javax.faces.component.html.HtmlMessages
org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlMessages
Thanks,

It's whatever getFamily() or getRendererType() return. At least,
that's the default value. The faces-config file should have the
authoritative value, though.
In UIMessages, there are the following constants, so these are
probably the default values.
public static final String COMPONENT_TYPE = "javax.faces.Messages";
public static final String COMPONENT_FAMILY = "javax.faces.Messages";
private static final String DEFAULT_RENDERER_TYPE = "javax.faces.Messages";

How do you find out what the component-family and the renderer-type is for
t:messages? I can see what the "default renderer type" is and the "component
type" is.

Re: Configureing a new renderer

My understanding is that component-family is just a generic
classification of the component.
For example, h:message, h:messages, t:message, and t:messages would
all be of the same family. I'm not sure what it's used for, but you
should be able to use whatever's already defined for h:messages.
However, each component has a unique component-type value.

I also see COMPONENT_TYPE = "org.apache.myfaces.HtmlMessages"; in the
HtmlMessages class. component-type and component-family are they different?
