Save h:outputFormat result to a variable

Question

Currently I am successfully getting the labels from my resource bundle via

<h:outputFormat value="#{labels['key']}">
   <f:param value="my param1"/>
   <f:param value="my param2"/>
</h:outputFormat>

But how do I save it in a variable so that I can use it inline like

<i data-original-title="#{myLabel}"></i>

I am looking for something like

<h:outputFormat var="myLabel" value="#{labels['key']}">
   <f:param value="my param1"/>
   <f:param value="my param2"/>
</h:outputFormat>

But that doesn't seem to work

How should it save something? It’s an outputFormat and simply [renders parameterized text](http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/javaserverfaces/2.2/vdldocs/facelets). — lefloh, Apr 11 '14 at 07:02
Yeah, thus the line "I am looking for something LIKE", because I know it doesn't work and I want to know something that works. Atleast that's what I tried so far :) — Rey Libutan, Apr 11 '14 at 07:04
Why don’t you simple use MessageFormat and format it in your bean? — lefloh, Apr 11 '14 at 07:16
We are not using managed beans as we are integrating JSF and Spring and we are only using JSF on the front-end. — Rey Libutan, Apr 11 '14 at 07:18
But you are accessing SpringBeans in your Facelets? If not you could use MessageFormat, add the result to the request or session and access it via #{param} or #{session}. — lefloh, Apr 11 '14 at 07:52

You can use the Omnifaces extension of outputFormat: http://showcase.omnifaces.org/components/outputFormat
