Very interesting question. I just did some code research to find out if there is some possibility to define a custom ExpressionFactory implementation. I found the context parameter 'org.apache.myfaces.EXPRESSION_FACTORY'. But to my surprise this parameter is only evaluated in a JSP 2.0 environment. It was introduced in order to make MyFaces 1.2.x work with JSP 2.0. See MYFACES-1693 for details. I think it would be a great improvement for MyFaces to support this parameter in a JSP 2.1 environment as well. This feature would allow to use other EL implementations like JBoss EL.
