You can only generate literal types of Long, Double, or String in EL.
The only way I know to do this in EL is to provide a facelets
conversion function like
itemValue="#{myFunctions:characterToString('A')}". I don't know if a
character-to-String converter for the component would work in this
case, but you could try that like Jakob suggested.
