For information on Facelets, see: https://facelets.dev.java.net/nonav/docs/dev/docbook.html
As for the "my", it is the prefix for the namespace of the tag library. Similar to when defining a custom tag in JSP, you have a namespace and prefix assigned to the tag. In the case of Facelets, you would have to define a tag library with some particular namespace of your choosing, then define the prefix (of your choosing...I just chose "my" for the sake of an example) in the actual page itself that maps to that same namespace (done using xmlns XML syntax for the case of Facelets). Facelets has its own mailing lists that may be beneficial to ask questions to directed at Facelets if you went down that route....however, as stated prior, I would think there is possibly an easier way to handle what you are doing w/o using custom EL functions...I will leave those solutions up to the MyFaces developers to answer :) Just figured I would share what I have done in the past.

Hello Nick, In this case what would be my, where should I define it? I haven't used facelets before, could you mind explaining it to me?
