EL Expression String to Component?

[quilian]

Hi All!

I have a facelets template tag which gets the name of a bean as a parameter. The inclusion of the tag is as follows:

<mb:associationTableInclude
id="GruppeToBenutzers"
tableInstance="#{associationTableGruppeToBenutzers}"

Now in the Page where i define the tag i can output:

<h:outputText value="#{tableInstance}"></h:outputText><br/>

which gives me the output:

associationTableGruppeToBenutzers

But thats just a String. I want the Output that #{associationTableGruppeToBenutzers} would give me:

associationTableGruppeToBenutzers@587234e

So I can get the attributes and call the methods of the bean.

So the question is, how to get from the string to the object with that name?
I tried all sorts of combinations, including:

 ${tableInstance}
 #{ ${tableInstance}}
 #{component.instance(tableInstance)}
#{interpolator.interpolate(tableInstance)}
 #{expressions.instance().createValueBinding(tableInstance).value}
...

Now I'm out of ideas :-)

Thanks for any light on this.

This should work as you have it.
