Can't instantiate JSF Custom Component

I'm hoping some of you expert (or at least seasoned) JSF custom component developers might be able to lend some insight into the "Can't instantiate class" problem. I have a custom component which extends another component (which happens to be Oracle ADF's panelGroup), and I've verified that everything is in place:

1. Component class uses correct component type referenced by faces-config.xml and tag class

2. Renderer type referenced in faces-config.xml matches that of the renderer type in component class

3. There is a default constructor (no args) for the component class, which also sets the renderer type

4. TLD with tag is correct

All classes are definitely in the classpath, as I have another custom component in the same packages which loads and is used just fine.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Shawn Bertrand
