Adding custom attribute (HTML5) support to JSF 2.0 UIInput component

Question

I am trying to write a renderer which would process the placeholder attribute on an component. I headed to this path after read

Answer 1

And to override for MyFaces 2.0.8+

package com.hsop.abc.eld;

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.context.ResponseWriter;

import org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.HtmlTextRenderer;

public class InputRenderer extends HtmlTextRenderer
{
    @Override
    protected void renderInputBegin(FacesContext context, UIComponent component)
            throws IOException
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.renderInputBegin(context, component);

    Object placeholder = component.getAttributes().get("placeholder");
    if(placeholder != null) { 
        ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
        writer.writeAttribute("placeholder", placeholder, "placeholder");
    }

    }
}
