      This is from the original question on stackoverflow.com:
      http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8004233/jsf-2-how-to-pass-an-action-including-an-argument-to-be-invoked-to-a-facelets-s

      As an example, this view:

      <ui:param name="p1" value="#{myBean}" />
      <ui:param name="p2" value="submit" />
      <ui:param name="p3" value="#{myBean.toString()}" />
      
      <h:form>
          <h:commandButton value="submit" action="#{p1[p2](p3)}" /> 
      </h:form>
      

      with this bean:

      @ManagedBean
      @RequestScoped
      public class MyBean {
      
          public void submit(String arg) {
              System.out.println("submit with " + arg);
          }
      
      }
      

      works fine on Tomcat 7.0.22, but on JBoss AS 7 it fails while loading the page:

      Chapter 1.19 of EL spec says:

      ValueSuffix      ::= '.' Identifier MethodParameters?
                          | '[' Expression ']' MethodParameters?
      MethodParameters ::= '(' (Expression (',' Expression )* )? ')'

      So, I think that Apache EL is right. Please fix ASAP. This is often used/useful in lists where you have a DELETE button per list row.
