The default ResourceHandler, as spec, only supports static, on-disk resources. With JSF being as extensible as it is, though, one can pretty easily override the ResourceHandler to support dynamic resources. I just did this very thing in Mojarra Scales for the sc:download component. Here are the links to the classes/files in question:

The Resource and ResourceHandler classes: http://kenai.com/projects/scales/sources/mercurial/show/main/src/main/java/com/sun/mojarra/scales/resource?rev=394
The Renderer: http://kenai.com/projects/scales/sources/mercurial/content/main/src/main/java/com/sun/mojarra/scales/renderer/FileDownloadRenderer.java?rev=394
faces-config.xml: http://kenai.com/projects/scales/sources/mercurial/content/main/src/main/resources/META-INF/faces-config.xml?rev=395

Hopefully, that all makes sense. If I can find the time, I hope to blog on the issue soon.
