Hi
There are good reasons to avoid use VariableMapper. This class is used
when the EL expressions are built to store some values required to
resolve the expression later, making the expression not cacheable,
because the content of VariableMapper could change at any time and in
that way, it is not possible to reuse the same expression.
The wrappers used for EL expressions are there to ensure proper
context initialization. For example, when the EL expression is
evaluated, the reference for the composite component must be pushed on
to the stack.
This process is done by facelets, so create a value expression like
#{cc} programatically will not have the same effect as if it is
created by facelets compiler (if it is located inside composite
component .xhtml file).
If you need some kind of global context in your pages, the best way is
write a custom EL resolver. Other option is write an specific facelets
function, and pass the reference to the composite component to
retrieve the specified context and finally resolve it properly. For
example:
#{utils:context(cc).selected.attribute1}
Really I don't know what you are trying to do, but I hope these ideas
could help.
