How do I add or change the class attribute of a JSF dataTable (primefaces)?

Question

I have a PrimeFaces <p:dataTable> and I want to specify a CSS class in the generated HTML <table> element. If I use the styleClass attribute, then this will be added to the wrapping <div> instead of the <table>. How can I get it on the <table> instead?

Answer 1

If you set tableStyle or tableStyleClass attribute, it will add the css class to the table element.
