Here are working examples of my custom controls and controller registries. I highly
recommend you create separate .xreg files for both your controls and controllers.
My custom controllers
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<registry>
<portlet-controller-entry name="EssentialTabController" hidden="false">
<meta-info>
<title>Essential Tab pane</title>
</meta-info>
<classname>org.apache.jetspeed.portal.controllers.VelocityPanedPortletController</classname>
<parameter name="template" value="card.vm" hidden="false"/>
<parameter name="action" value="controllers.PanedControllerAction"
hidden="false"/>
<parameter name="parameter" value="pane" hidden="false"/>
<parameter name="defaultpane" value="0" hidden="false"/>
<parameter name="control" value="EssentialTabControl" hidden="false"/>
<media-type ref="html"/>
</portlet-controller-entry>
<portlet-controller-entry name="LayoutTabController" hidden="false">
<meta-info>
<title>Essential Tab pane with Layout</title>
</meta-info>
<classname>com.rippe.essential.portal.controllers.EssentialPortletController</classname>
<parameter name="template" value="card.vm" hidden="false"/>
<parameter name="action" value="controllers.PanedControllerAction"
hidden="false"/>
<parameter name="parameter" value="pane" hidden="false"/>
<parameter name="defaultpane" value="0" hidden="false"/>
<parameter name="control" value="EssentialTabControl" hidden="false"/>
<media-type ref="html"/>
</portlet-controller-entry>
</registry>
my custom controls:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<registry>
<portlet-control-entry name="EssentialTitlePortletControl" hidden="false">
<meta-info>
<title>Essential titled control</title>
</meta-info>

<parameter name="theme" value="essential/essential.vm" hidden="false"/>
<parameter name="simple" value="true" hidden="false"/>
<media-type ref="html"/>
<media-type ref="wml"/>
</portlet-control-entry>
<portlet-control-entry name="EssentialBackgroundPortletControl" hidden="false">
<meta-info>
<title>Essential titled control which uses a background and
a cap</title>
</meta-info>
<classname>org.apache.jetspeed.portal.controls.VelocityPortletControl</classname>
<parameter name="theme" value="essential/essential-background.vm"
hidden="false"/>
<parameter name="simple" value="true" hidden="false"/>
<media-type ref="html"/>
<media-type ref="wml"/>
</portlet-control-entry>
<portlet-control-entry name="EssentialTabControl" hidden="false">
<meta-info>
<title>Essential Tab control</title>
</meta-info>
<classname>org.apache.jetspeed.portal.controls.VelocityPortletSetControl</classname>
<parameter name="theme" value="essential/essential-tab.vm"
hidden="false"/>
<media-type ref="html"/>
</portlet-control-entry>
</registry>
