Custom Tags Using Facelets

Question

I am trying to simplify a lot of pages by using Facelets and custom taglibs that are just .xhtml pages with other Standard JSF components inside them. My problem is not really related to that, but it gives a bit of background info: What I am trying to do is simplify the naming of binding and value attributes by trying to concatenate Strings to form a reference to a managed bean/property.
I am trying to do something like this:
<c:set var="componentVal" value="'#{formBinding}.#{formName}.#{componentName}'" />
<c:set var="componentBind" value="'#{beanBinding}.#{formName}.#{componentName}'" />
<h:inputText id="#{id}" value="#{componentVal}" binding="#{componentBind}" size="#{size}" />This comes after iterations of trying to just concatenate the bound variables (formBinding, formName, and componentName are defined earlier). Is this possible in JSF or am I barking up the wrong tree? I am trying to use this solution because we have one session-bound managed bean with different components for different tabs on the screen, and are accessed via a map, which makes the names quite long, and they only give us 17" monitors here, so, aside from making it cleaner, I will actually get to see what I am doing without scrolling all over the place.
Thanks for any and all help/advice.

I guess I could try some createobject code to see if it works on godaddy
Would you be able to post some example code?
Sure. Here is a simple test. If by some miracle that actually runs without error, you can find a .NET example in the documentation
<cfset str = createObject("java", "java.lang.String").init("Test this")>
<cfoutput>#str#</cfoutput>
Also, find out what version of CF you are using. If it is CF8+ you are in business.
<cfoutput>
version #server.coldFUsion.ProductVersion#
</cfoutput>
