Hi Andrew, thanks for the note. I think this is by far the best solution.
Here is what worked for me (the JSP 2.5 and Facelets docs are not very good on this). I added "META-INF/bamboo.taglib.xml" with the following contents: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE facelet-taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Facelet Taglib 1.0//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/facelet-taglib_1_0.dtd";> <facelet-taglib xmlns="http://java.sun.com/JSF/Facelet";> <namespace>http://bamboo-ag.com/helpers</namespace> <function> <function-name>concat</function-name> <function-class>bamboo.util.LittleHelpers</function-class> <function-signature> java.lang.String concat(java.lang.String, java.lang.String) </function-signature> </function> </facelet-taglib> then <html xmlns:bb="http://bamboo-ag.com/helpers"; ...> ... #{bb:concat("it ", "works")} worked as expected.
