Found problem in that "destination" isn't writable, but "#{destination}" is. When I replace that, it doesn't complain and my log indicates the variable has been set to the desired value. Now, that value is "task.jsf?id='579'" instead of task.jsf?id=579" for one thing. The other is, whether url="#{destination}" will process that correctly.
