Here's some XHTML that I was using to create the composite component:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:component xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:cc="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite" xmlns:ice="http://www.icesoft.com/icefaces/component"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml http://www.w3.org/2002/08/xhtml/xhtml1-transitional.xsd">

<cc:interface>
<cc:attribute name="for" required="true" />
<cc:attribute name="value" default="#{i18n['showing-x-x-of-x-results']}" required="false" />
<cc:attribute name="style" required="false" />
<cc:attribute name="styleClass" required="false" />
</cc:interface>

<cc:implementation>

<ice:dataPaginator for="#{cc.attrs.for}" firstRowIndexVar="firstRowIndex" lastRowIndexVar="lastRowIndex" pageCountVar="pageCount" pageIndexVar="pageIndex"
rendered="#{cc.rendered}" rowsCountVar="rowsCount" style="#{cc.attrs.style}" styleClass="#{cc.attrs.styleClass} search-results">
<ice:outputFormat value="#{value}">
<f:param value="#{firstRowIndex}" />
<f:param value="#{lastRowIndex}" />
<f:param value="#{rowsCount}" />
<f:param value="#{pageIndex}" />
<f:param value="#{pageCount}" />
</ice:outputFormat>
</ice:dataPaginator>

</cc:implementation>

</ui:component>


And here is the error I get when I try to use the composite component with <foo:iceInfoDataPaginator for="mytable" />
