I recommend asking this on the facelets list. All you do is pass your binding/value/validator/converter/required values into your composition template. You can pass them either as attributes or as "body text" (for validators and converters, this often makes more sense). The only tricky part is passing a method-binding value (typically, you pass the bean and hardcode the method name to deal with this -- you can then force any applicable bean to implement an interface with the method to keep everything clean).
You can get really fancy and trivially-create virtual components which are compositions of other components. http://jroller.com/page/RickHigh?entry=passing_an_action_sort_of http://jroller.com/page/RickHigh?entry=another_reason_i_love_facelets Or you can read through the facelets users mailing list archives starting around Jan 9 or 10 (give or take a day).
