Take a look at facelets and functions. The only question that I would
have is if you can pass the current component to facelets. Not sure if
you can...
Facelet functions are static public functions on Java classes that are
registered using taglib.xml files. You use them like:
#{fn:yourFunction(arg1, arg2)}
Where fn is the namespace from the taglib.xml.
I'm cross posting this link to the facelets list for feedback on if
you can pass components to functions.
