Why are people discussing JSP when the OP states that the problem is
in XHTML?

There are other ways, too - for example, set a member variable in a
page-level bean instead of passing a method argument.

I thought EL allowed passing arguments to methods.  I will have to
research this.  It's a problem I've faced before but I don't remember
the solution off the top of my head.  I'll be back on that.
