[shale] clay binding attribute set first in restore view phase

[Ryan Wynn]

It seems the binding attribute is not getting set until the restore
view phase.  For example if I have

<component>
   <attributes>
         <set name="binding" value="#{foo.bar}" bindingType="VB"/>
   ...

setBar is not called until the view is restored.  I would have thought
that I would have access to the component during the initial render
phase.

What I would like to do is during render have getBar() return me a
reference to the UIComponent, but of course it returns null.

Is this a bug or a misunderstanding on my part?

Thanks,
Ryan
