How to get all attributes of a component

Question

Hi all,
In a component I'm trying to get attributes of some primefaces components, but somehow I cannot retrieve them all.
Here's a little bit of a table:
          <p:dataTable styleClass="ptable100" title="${msg.contractlist_title}" id="contractlistTable" var="contract" value="#{contractList.contracts}" width="100%" height="200px"
                    emptyMessage="#{msg.all_lists_no_records_found}" paginator="#{contractList.rowSize > 10}" rows="10" rowsPerPageTemplate="5,10,20,50,100"
                    paginatorTemplate="{FirstPageLink} {PreviousPageLink} {PageLinks} {NextPageLink} {LastPageLink}  #{msg.all_lists_numberOfRowsDisplayed_label}{RowsPerPageDropdown}">
               <p:column id="column_id" resizable="true" sortBy="#{contract.id}" style="white-space:normal">
                  <f:facet name="header"><h:outputText styleClass="headerText" value="#{msg.contractlist_contract_id}" /></f:facet>
                     <h:outputLink value="#{path.dynamicUrl}contract/detail.xhtml" onclick="Richfaces.showModalPanel('busy_nav');">
                         <h:outputText value="#{contract.id}"/>
                         <f:param name="contractid" value="#{contract.id}" />
                     </h:outputLink>
              </p:column>Then, I try to get the attributes like this (where table is the UIData component):
          String title = "";
          System.out.println("table.getAttribs.keys= " + table.getAttributes().keySet());
          System.out.println("table.getAttribs.vals= " + table.getAttributes().values());
          if (table.getAttributes().containsKey("title")) {
               title = String.valueOf(table.getAttributes().get("title"));
          }The function getAttributes() is implemented on UIComponentBase so I believe it's independent of the component.
This prints the following:
table.getAttribs.keys= [com.sun.facelets.MARK_ID]
table.getAttribs.vals= [5756abfa]When I do the same for the columns, all attributes I get is MARK_ID, style and styleClass.
Obviously I'd like to get all attributes, in this case the "title" on the p:dataTable.
Any thoughts why this isn't working and how I could do that?
Thank you,
Steven
