    Overriding a JSF component renderer using Seam

      Hello all.


         I made a custom renderer by extending com.sun.faces.renderkit.html_basic.MenuRenderer and registered it in the faces-config.xml as follows:



      <render-kit>
     <renderer>
          <component-family>javax.faces.SelectOne</component-family>
          <renderer-type>javax.faces.Menu</renderer-type>
          <renderer-class>test.jsf.renderer.html.CustomMenuRenderer</renderer-class>
        </renderer>
</render-kit>









        Works fine in a project that only uses JSF. It doesn't seem to work in one that uses Seam though. I was getting an exception informing that the faces servlet transaction did not complete but now it goes straight to this and into a loop trying to deploy the application:




      22:01:58,788 INFO  [ServerImpl] JBoss (Microcontainer) [5.1.0.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_5_1_0_GA date=200905221053)] Started in 1m:27s:500ms

22:02:05,429 INFO  [SessionFactoryObjectFactory] Unbinding factory from JNDI name: persistence.unit:unitName=#test



        Has anyone tried something like this before? Is there a restriction in Seam that doesn't allow me to override a JSF renderer, or perhaps more specifically the MenuRenderer? Please, someone enlighten me.

          Almost forgot, I'm using Seam 2.2, JSF 1.2 and JBoss AS 5.1

            Ok, I managed to get the exception to show again, it's not very helpful though:
