A real component:
* Has an associated UIComponent
* Can perform "decode" functionality
* Has a Renderer associated with it (in JSFT's case, that Renderer is
usually controlled via a template file)
* Can be used in ANY JSF environment (JSP, JSFTemplating, Facelets, etc.)
* Follows the JSF specification

Yes, I think so.

Have you seen this article?

I am working with Jason Lee on a better article that makes component
creation even easier... only 2 files that you have to touch.

It's no problem at all... I'm sure many others have the same questions
you have. By asking the questions (which are very good questions, btw),
you're helping others.
Thanks!
