How to pass rich params to jsf for i18n?

I am using jsf to render my html pages and I am using the nifty resource bundle loading to add i18n to the various pages. The problem I am having is that with outputFormat you can not pass in any "rich" parameters. For instance this sentance:

This my favorite search engine, you should check it out.

It would be nice to do something like this:

 <h:outputFormat value="#{bundle.favItemLineWithParam}>
      <f:param>
           <h:outputFormat value="#{bundle.searchEngine}>
                <f:param>
                     <h:link value="http://google.com">
                </f:param>
           </h:outputFormat>
      </f:param>
 </h:outputFormat>

but that is not allowed, it would seem like the only option is to render the links in java with a backing bean or something. Any Ideas?

That's not possible. You need to use plain HTML in the bundle value and set escape="false".

favItem = This is my favourite <a href="{1}">{0}</a>, you should check it out.

with

<h:outputFormat value="#{bundle.favItem}" escape="false">
    <f:param value="search engine" />
    <f:param value="http://google.com" />
</h:outputFormat>

Update:

Since version 1.5, it's possible with <o:param> of JSF utility library OmniFaces:

favItem = This is my favourite {0}, you should check it out.
searchEngine = search engine

with

<h:outputFormat value="#{bundle.favItem}" escape="false">
    <o:param><a href="http://google.com">#{bundle.searchEngine}</a></o:param>
</h:outputFormat>
