Programatic Value/MethodBindings with JSF tags

Question

I read thread http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=526026 "Using JSP scriplets in the JSF tags". The following was suggested but not recomended in order to use JSF Tag EL with a programatically set value.
<%
String myString="MyLabel";
request.setAttribute("myString", myString);
%>
<h:view>
<h:outputText id="myID" value="#{myString}" />
</h:view>
Is it possible to set up ValueBinding's and MethodBindings in a similar way or would it be better to dump the JSF tags and use JSF altogether programatically. Below is an example that seems like it should work but the result is the ValueBinding.toString() ends up being the value.
thanks in advance;
<%
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application app = context.getApplication();
ValueBinding vb= app.createValueBinding("#{MyBean.member}");
request.setAttribute("vb", vb);
%>
<h:inputText id="myid" value="#{vb}"/>

--right ValueBinding.getValue() takes a FacesContext, which you definately would not want to pass as and arg in El, even if you could I would think. 
To answer your question, we are generating several software layers based on an MDA approach. We reverse engineer the database schema into XML then use that "Platform Independent Model" to generate a JDO model and set of persistence-capable Java classes, and now a Faces Bean model and Bean classes. We also have a set of constants files which have all the entity and property names to be used in the web layer.
Since the database model is huge, and changes alot (government project), hard-coding EL expressions in a thousand places is a very bad idea given the code-generation/reverse-engineering approach.
We want 100% compile-time checking for all persistent-access properties and the Faces programatic approach to Value/Method bindings gets us there, if it will somehow work.
--any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
