InstantiationException when deploying ear with custom tag lib on Jboss

[Hunter Stern]

Here is my custom component:

   

/*
 * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
 * and open the template in the editor.
 */

package com.hunter.ui;

import java.util.Random;
import javax.faces.component.html.HtmlInputText;

/**
 *
 * @author 
 */
public class LoopingInputText extends HtmlInputText {

    public LoopingInputText() {
        super();
        setRendererType("javax.faces.Text");
        System.out.println("LOOPING!!!!!");
       
        
        System.out.println(super.getRenderer(super.getFacesContext()));

        
    }

    @Override
    public void setId(String id) {
        Random rand = new Random();

        super.setId(id + String.valueOf(rand.nextInt()));
    }


    public String getFamily() {
        return "LoopingInputFamily";
    }

}
 

Here is my faces-config.xml:

   </application>



</faces-config>

 

Here is the relevant portion of my web.xml:

 

    <context-param>
        <param-name>facelets.LIBRARIES</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/tlds/Looping.xml</param-value>
        <renderer-type>org.apache.myfaces.AliasBean</renderer-type>
    </context-param>
   

Here is my tag descriptor:

  

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE facelet-taglib PUBLIC
  "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Facelet Taglib 1.0//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/dtd/facelet-taglib_1_0.dtd">


<facelet-taglib>
    <namespace>http://dream.com/customfacescomponents</namespace>

    <tag>
        <tag-name>loopingInputText</tag-name>
        <component>
            <component-type>com.hunter.ui.JSFLoopingInputText</component-type>
			<renderer-type>javax.faces.Text</renderer-type>
        </component>
    </tag>
 </facelet-taglib>
  

Here is my call to the tag in xhtml:

 

<hs:loopingInputText id="loopText" value="#{user.value}"/>
   

The reason for extending the HTMLInputText class is so I can dynamically set the id of the form field based on my own logic. Otherwise I cannot display a dynamic list of form fields (HTMLInputTexts) by iterating through a list of data. I believe the problem is the com.sun.faces.renderkit.html_basic.HtmlBasicInputRenderer class is not visible to my application. It lives in jsf-impl.jar under a different app (jboss-web.deployer). This must be a classloader issue. I dont' see how to get around it.
