Question: How would I get the length of an `ArrayList` using a JSF EL expression? 

```
#{MyBean.somelist.length}

```

does not work.

Answer: 
You can eventually extend the EL language by using the [EL Functor](http://el-functors.sourceforge.net), which will allow you to call any Java beans methods, even with parameters...
You can get the length using the following EL:

**#{Bean.list.size()}**
