-----------------------------------

com.sun.facelets.el is facelets hooks into EL. 

What you post should most definitely work with EL - post a patch against one of the examples so we can replicate locally.

> EL extension to resolve #{bean[field]}" where field is a composite like "property.subProperty"
> today bean[field] is a means to resolve properties dynamically. 
> it does however not work for nested properties.
> it's more powerfull and more intuitive imho if one could pass an expression like "address.street" to resolve these dynamically .
> an example use case is dynamically building list pages like below where the column fields are configurable (and ideally would support projection of a street.address)
>           <c:forEach
>             items="${managedAccounts.searchFields}"
>             var="field"
>             varStatus="status"
>           >
>             <rich:column
>               breakBefore="#{count==1 ? true : false}"

>               <h:inputText
>                 value="#{managedAccounts.example[field]}"
>                 class="headerSearchField"
>               />
