Passing f:atrribute to a nested composition component

Question

I have two nested composite components such as:

<my:inputContainer>
    <my:input/>
</my:inputContainer>

And I need to pass a f:attribute to my:input in order to get it back in its validator:

<my:inputContainer>
    <my:input>
        <f:attribute name="attr" value="any value"/>
    </my:input>
</my:inputConainer>

But when I try to retrieve the attribute value in validator from component.getAttributes() it doesn't exist.

My components are defined basically this way:

<cc:implementation>
    <my:input name="input1"/>
    <my:input name="input2">
        <f:attribute name="input1Value" value="#{cc.attrs.input1Value}"/>
        <f:validator validatorId="myInputValidator" for="inputText"/>      
    </my:input>
</cc:implementation>

Any help will be appreciated.

I realized that's not possible. cc:insertChildren does not render f:attribute. If you want to pass a f:attribute from one component to another, you must define cc:attribute in cc:interface.

ComponentA

...
<cc:implentation>
   <my:componentB>
        <f:attribute name="myAttr" value="The attribute value"/>
   </my:componentB>
</cc:implementation>

ComponentB

<cc:interface>
    ...
    <cc:attribute name="myAttr"/>
</cc:attribute>

<cc:implementation>
    <my:input name="input1"/>
    <my:input name="input2">
        <f:attribute name="input1Value" value="#{cc.attrs.myAttr}"/>
        <f:validator validatorId="myInputValidator" for="inputText"/>      
    </my:input>
</cc:implementation>
