Thanks Ignasi. I am trying to build an web app in which recipes of a cookbook would be listed. User select the recipes and attaches it to a node. And later runs chef-client to execute it. I was looking to list out the attributes used in recipe, so that user can override when using chef-client with -j attribute. May be I need to explore other ways of fetching attributes.

Cookbooks contain a set of "attribute files" with default values for some attributes, but don't "define" them nor set a "complete attribute set". If you have a look at the Chef server API [1] you'll see that a cookbook version does not return any attribute; just a reference to each attribute file. Having said this, what are you trying to do? You might want to change your code to read the attributes from a node. Also, looking at the jclouds code, we'll have to change the cookbook version "attributes" variable [2] to return a set of Resource (just as the recipes do) instead of Attributes. This may have caused confusion. I'll open a JIRA to fix this on our side. HTH!
