using <s:div rendered="..."> instead of <s:hasRole>

JBoss 4.0.5
SEAM 1.2

is it possible to call a method on a SLSB as follows?:

<!-- in place of <s:hasRole> restriction -->
<s:div rendered="#{authenticator.display}">
<s:button view="/CustomersEdit.xhtml"
id="edit"
value="Edit"/>
</s:div>

display is a method that returns true or false after evaluating user's role (access level) for that component/page.

I'm getting the following stack trace:

javax.faces.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /Customers.xhtml @92,46 rendered="#{authenticator.display}": Bean: org.javassist.tmp.java.lang.Object_$$_javassist_79, property: display

This is a value binding so el will look for authenticator.getDisplay().

I tried that as well before posting on this forum and got an exception of similar type. The getDisplay() method was declared as public. I will look at it again.

BTW, if it's looking for "getDisplay()" then why does the exception reference display as a property? It seems it's looking for a property, not a method...
