/**
*
* The presence of this annotation on a class automatically registers the class with the runtime as a {@link Renderer}.
* The value of the {@link #renderKitId} attribute is taken to be the render-kit-id to which an instance of
* this Renderer is to be added. There must be a public zero-argument constructor on any class where this
* annotation appears. The implementation must indicate a fatal error if such a constructor does not exist and the
* application must not be placed in service. Within that {@link RenderKit}, The value of the {@link #rendererType}
* attribute is taken to be the renderer-type, and the value of the {@link #componentFamily} attribute is to be
* taken as the component-family. The implementation must guarantee that for each class annotated with
* FacesRenderer, found with the algorithm in section JSF.11.5, the following actions are taken.
*
*
*
*
*
*
* -
*
* Obtain a reference to the {@link RenderKitFactory} for this application.
*
*
*
* -
*
* See if a RenderKit exists for render-kit-id. If so, let that instance be renderKit for
* discussion. If not, the implementation must indicate a fatal error if such a RenderKit does not exist
* and the application must not be placed in service.
*
*
*
* -
*
* Create an instance of this class using the public zero-argument constructor.
*
*
*
* -
*
* Call {@link RenderKit#addRenderer} on renderKit, passing component-family as the first argument,
* renderer-type as the second, and the newly instantiated RenderKit instance as the third
* argument.
