When I use #{s:hasRole('test')} in a facelet view it works. However, when I try to use facesContext.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{s:hasRole('test')}"); I get the following error: ... | Caused by: javax.faces.el.ReferenceSyntaxException: Functions not supported in expressions. Function: s:hasRole | at org.apache.myfaces.el.ValueBindingImpl$1.resolveFunction(ValueBindingImpl.java:74) | at org.apache.commons.el.FunctionInvocation.evaluate(FunctionInvocation.java:148) | at org.apache.myfaces.el.ValueBindingImpl.getValue(ValueBindingImpl.java:386) | ... 62 more How can I get the support of functions from the createValueBinding(String) method?
