I think the parsing rules must be: - JSF EL binding expressions only works within jsf tags - jsf tags evaluation take precedence over jsp and html tagsI just recalled that JSP EL works with JSF managed beans. The following should work. Take note that it is $, not #. <body onload="displayMessage('${mainMenu.alertMessage}')">
This will work when the mainMenu bean already exists, because JSF stores any managed bean objects into the request/session/app scope. The JSP EL looks in page/request/session/app for objects so will find it.
However if this is the first reference to the mainMenu object, then using #{...} syntax will cause the object to be created, while ${...} syntax will just fail as JSP doesn't know about managed beans.
