Matt- you are using name space "org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.**;"
I strongly recommend to use "org.apache.myfaces.shared_tomahawk.**;" The shared classes are *integrated* in tomahawk.jar and myfaces-impl.jar. If you use shared_impl your Renderer depends on myfaces as your jsf runtime. By using "shared_tomahawk" namespace your Renderer *only* depends on Tomahawk, which *should* run w/ RI. There is also a myfaces-shared-core.jar, which is the base of both shared_XXX namespaces. This JAR includes the "org.apache.myfaces.shared.*** namespace, but there is no released version for it. -Matthias On 6/2/06, mraible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
