Why is the styleClass Property always overridden?

[thomas.asel]

Hi everybody,
Im stuck with a problem and may need a little help to get through.
Basically all I want to do is to add the name of a CSS-class programmatically 
to the styleClass attribute so that somithing like this is rendered in HTML:
<input id="myText" class="af_inputText_content myClass" ...>
The 'myClass' should be added to the class inserted by the skinning-renderer of 
Trinidad.

Even the very basic approach of using the styleClass Attribute of 
<tr:inputText> does not work as only af_inputText_content is inserted as value 
for the class attribute.

Manipulating the componentes attribute map works for JSF-Standard-Components 
but not for Trinidad-Components.
This is what my code looks like: 
                                Map<String, Object> attributes = 
component.getAttributes();
                                String styleClass = (String) 
attributes.get("styleClass");
                                // Append myClass to whatever is set as 
styleClass
                                attributes.put("styleClass", styleClass + " 
myClass");  

Do I have to use the acesBean for Trinidad-Components? If so, how can the 
styleClass-attribute be accessed?

Thanks in advance,
Tom
