Matthias, Yup I saw that in the in the source code as well, which is why I though it was a bug (maybe still is a bug?) after all what is the point of allowing the use of an EL expression if you are only going to evaluate it once?
I will look at Trinidad... And probably use it since I can not think of a work around... But man the amount of "libraries" are piling up, MyFace, Tomahawk, RichFaces and now Trinidad where does it end ;-)?
