I have decided to write a Form Guide renderer instead of using one from the Samples. The renderer process was created by carefully observing the one in the samples. After creating the renderer, I activated it and used it in my process. In the livecycle workspace, when I try to access the initialization task, A popup error shows up. Looking at the logs revealed the following error/exception:
exception: flex.messaging.MessageException: ALC-WKS-005-028: A problem occurred in the Render Service. Please review the render orchestration for this process.
