Hi,

I want to built a custom render kit for SVG. I put in faces-config.xml the following
<render-kit>
	<render-kit-id>SVG</render-kit-id>
	<renderer>
		<component-family>javax.faces.Command</component-family>
		<renderer-type>rendersvg.Button</renderer-type>
		<renderer-class>rendersvg.CommandButtonTag</renderer-class>
	</renderer>
	others renders
	....
</render-kit>

I use this renderkit in the following jsp:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"  "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

<%@ page contentType="image/svg+xml"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/svg" prefix="g" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
                                                                                       
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
     xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <style type="text/css">
      rect:hover {fill-opacity:0.3;}
    </style>

    <f:view renderKitId="SVG" >  
        <g:form id="form">
           <g:outputText x="100" y="50" textAnchor="middle" value=".xxx..."
                         style="stroke:black; stroke-width:0.5; fill:none; font-size:32pt;" />
....................
        </g:form>
    </f:view>
</svg>

I wrote the renderers (this is one example)
public class ButtonRenderer extends Renderer {
..........
    public void decode(FacesContext context, UIComponent component) {
   ............
    }
    public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context, UIComponent component)      throws IOException {
..........
    }

    public void encodeEnd(FacesContext context, UIComponent component)
................
    }
}

I wrote the tag clases 
public final class CommandButtonTag extends UIComponentELTag {
..........
    public String getRendererType() {
        return "rendersvg.Button";
    }

    public String getComponentType() {
        return "javax.faces.Command";
    }
..........
}

But when I start tomcat I get
Apr 24, 2009 4:38:21 PM org.apache.myfaces.config.FacesConfigurator configureRenderKits
SEVERE: failed to configure rendersvg.CommandButtonTag
java.lang.ClassCastException: rendersvg.CommandButtonTag

What do you think I am missing?
