Hi there.

I'm trying to parameterize a xhtml page that is included into another page.

<ui:include src="include.xhtml">
  <ui:param name="parameter" value="PARAMETERVALUE" />
</ui:include>

Normally, this is not a problem as you can access the value of the passed-in parameter via

#{parameter}

in the other xhtml page.

Now i want to parameterize an already existing EL expression, something like

<h:outputText value="#{myBean.doSomething(FIXEDPART1 #{parameter} FIXEDPART2)}" />

I tried a lot of things: (surround parameter with ', [ and ], $ and so on), but nothing worked.

The only thing that finally worked was a nested EL expression without the fixed parts before and after:

<h:outputText value="#{myBean.doSomething(parameter)}" />

But I need those. Is there any way to do this? I'm attempting to get this working for some time now...
Of course there are ugly workarounds like

<c:set var="variable" value="myBean.doSomething(FIXEDPART1 #{parameter} FIXEDPART2)" />
<h:outputText value="#{variable}" />

but I'd like to know if there's another, less hack-like way... Any ideas? Thanks!
