JSF2.0 Composite Component not getting rendered in MYFaces

I developed a sample project to test composite components in JSF2.0.

Here is my sample code

My test file 

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"   
  xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
  xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
  xmlns:composite="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite"
  xmlns:tp="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/test"
  >
<h:body>
    <h:form>
    <h:outputLabel value="Success"/>
       <tp:loginComponent 
          usernameLabel="Enter User Name: " 
          usernameValue="#{login.name}" />
    </h:form>
</h:body>  


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:composite="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite"
>
    <composite:interface>
        <composite:attribute name="usernameLabel" />
        <composite:attribute name="usernameValue" />
    </composite:interface>
    <composite:implementation>
        <h:form>
            #{cc.attrs.usernameLabel} : 
            <h:inputText id="username" value="#{cc.attrs.usernameValue}" />
        </h:form>
    </composite:implementation>

When I deploy it on Websphere 8.5 the composite component is not getting rendered.Please help me identify the issue

Thanks

You have to adjust the location and name of the file. Otherwise JSF won't find it.

The line 

xmlns:tp="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/test"

Points JSF to the folder resources/test (relative to the root of your web pages). Assuming WebContent is the root for your webpages the resources folder should be inside that.

When JSF sees <tp:loginComponent .... /> it is going to look in the folder for a file called loginComponent.xhtml.

EDIT

Because there can be many kinds of resources in your resources folder it is best to create a subfolder for components. I usually call it comps. So that would give you the path /WebContent/resources/comps place in this folder a file named loginComponent.xhtml with your component.

Change the namespace line to: xmlns:tp="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/comps" (that comps is in resources is implied but not specified in the URL).
