[Seaside] Where to look to find out what...

[Julian Fitzell]

Whatever your component returns when sent #rendererClass will be used as 
the renderer for that component.

WAPresenter (a superclass of WAComponent) implements it like this:

rendererClass
	^ WAHtmlRenderer

So your components will all use the old rendering API unless you 
reimplement that method to return WAHtmlCanvas instead.  If you want to 
do this, it's probably best to make a component subclass for your 
project and then subclass that for all your components.  This is good 
practice anyway as there always seems to be behaviour you want to share 
across all your components anyway.
