title: EL equivalent of <%= object.method(parameter) %> in WAS 8?
body: <p>The documentation says parameters are supported but the example uses <code>hl</code> and <code>#</code> which are unknown to me where I use c: and $ instead of this which is from the docs:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;h:inputText value="#{userNumberBean.userNumber('5')}"&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>All I know about $ vs # in EL is that is has to do with rvalue and lvalue which I can need a further explanation when to use the # style. I'm looking for how an EL expression of typ $... can take a parameter and how to call non-getters non-setters with a parameter for example fetching a constant static string from a bean in the request context.</p>
  
  <p>What does # do compared to $? How do I use parameters in EL if I want to use the $?
  The scriptlets I want to migrate to EL are something like <code>&lt;%= Constants.CONSTANT %&gt;</code>and <code>&lt;%= object.method(parameter) %&gt;</code> that I want to do in EL. </p>
