/**
* 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.
