http://www.ilikespam.com/blog/el-function-parameters-with-jboss-el which is linked from jsfcentral.com

That talks about being able to do things like #{bean.method(param1, param2)} within the page without having to use a MethodExpression. It is just a standard ValueExpression (or ValueBinding for JSF 1.1) that rather than doing bean.getMethod() does bean.method(param1, param2).

I did a very similar concept, except I also added variable argument support. I also updated Facelet functions to also support EL functions with variable args so you can do things like #{f:function(param1, param2, param3, param4, param5)} and only define the function as String concat(String... values).

Thanks,
Nick

Which article?

JBoss EL provides function support, but I'm confused as the syntax you use is for a MethodExpression, not a function.

Not sure if this is the right list or not but I just read your article on EL function support. I wanted to let the team know I also created an EL impl with function support. My impl also includes variable argument support so that you can declare a method such as add(int.. vals) and then invoke via #{bean.add(5,3,5,4)} to return 17. Otherwise, I think mine is fairly similar in support. Anyways does anyone have an interest in merging the two impls to get the best combination of features?
