I have just tried your classes and it works !
3 points to get it working :
* Install your classes directly in the Tomcat 
webapps/opencms/WEB-INF/classes/... correct paths to match the packages 
names
* In your registry.xml move your type declaration "after the lines which 
describe the jsp type as it seems that the order of the resources types 
is hard coded somewhere in opencms" as I previously mentionned. If you 
don't do so, you will see, by example, that the files in 
system/workplace/restypes will appear as if they are of "link" type 
instead of "plain" type.
* Copy system/workplace/restypes/page into 
system/workplace/restypes/techmanDetail
Then, of course, you have to stop/restart Tomcat.
By the way, I use OpenCms 5.0.1, it may be an important point too.

You can "hack" the workplace files directly by changin them, or/and add 
workplace files in your package by adding a property named 
"additionalresources" with a value composed of the full names (ie with 
path) of the workplace resources you want to add/replace separated by a ";".
