* Annotates the field should be rendered using the given Faces component type in the UI.

* Use of this annotation does not bind the business class to the UI quite as tightly as it may
* appear, because JSF has a loosely coupled relationship between
* <component-type> and <component-class>, and a further loose
* coupling between <component> and <render-kit> - as defined
* in faces-config.xml.
