I have a JSF 2 Facelet composite component wrapping ice:dataTable like this:

<my-comp:dataPaginator for=":myData" />
<ice:dataTable id="myData">
</ice:dataTable>

The colon in front of :myData indicates that the search should start from the root of the tree. Sadly, CoreComponentUtils.findComponent(UIComponent, String) is bailing out too early, not recursing through the component tree enough to find a matching clientId.

Here's a patch to fix:
