You however have to follow the guidelines regarding component packs from the sun jsf homepage. (There also is a wiki entry in the myfaces wiki regardung this) -----/Original Message----- You say you get a class not found exception. This means at least that your TLD-file has been regognized. You seem to have a "normal" classpath problem. Just for testing: add a normal managed bean to the same jar-file and access it from a standard-component (without your own custom components). Check whether this class can then be accessed... Depending on the appserver it can also be a problem of multiple classloaders... hth Alexander
