Faces-config.xml Component definition exception

Question

Hello,
I have a taglib file with the following content :
<component>
  <description>
      <p>Represents an HTML <code>input</code> element
      of type <code>text</code> with built-in completion.</p>
    </description>
    <display-name>Completion Text Field</display-name>
    <component-type>bpcatalog.ajax.AjaxTextField</component-type>
    <component-class>com.sun.j2ee.blueprints.bpcatalog.ajax.components.AjaxTextField</component-class>
    &uiinput-props;
    &core-props;
    &events-props;
    &focus-props;
    &i18n-props;
    &input-props;
    &text-props;
    <component-extension>
     <!-- TODO - can I specify HtmlInputText as the parent here? -->
      <base-component-type>javax.faces.Input</base-component-type>
      <renderer-type>AjaxTextField</renderer-type>
    </component-extension>
  </component>And when I launch my webapp, I have the following exception :
Element type "base-component-type" must be declared
The entity "input-props" was referenced, but not declaredCan someone explain me what is the cause of this ?
Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you're missing definitions like:
<!ELEMENT base-component-type (#PCDATA)>
<!ENTITY input-props SYSTEM "input-props.xml">
(one for each of the references)
These definitions need to be nested in the DOCTYPE
declaration like so:
<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.1//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd" [
(definitions)
]>
