If it's a no parameters method, you can still call it using the a map create a manager Bean that implements Map methods Create the appropriate conde inside get(key) so that you can now make this in EL: staticAccessorBean['com.package.MyClass.methodName'] It's ugly but somehow trivial.
Other way it to play with EL specification that allows you to add functions inside it. But you will need quite a few readings before achieving it without facelets.
