JSF 1.2 facelets custom component

Question

Hi!

I am trying to develop custom control in JSF 1.2 (using facelets).

I followed steps from different tutorials (defining .tld, taglib.xml, registered component in faces-config.xml and implementing UIComponent (component renders itself) and UIComponentELTag classes) and my component is rendered, I have value bound to it, but attributes I defined for that tag are ignored. I logged various methods in Tag class and noticed that none of the methods is ever called.

What am I missing? Is there a reason Tag handler class is never invoked?

Thanks in advance.
