Your request indicates the need for a much simpler way to do this. It
*can* currently be done (see below), but I want you to please add an
issue to the
https://javaserverfaces-spec-eg.dev.java.net/ issue tracker
requesting this feature (I've given you permission to add it).

What I'm about to say will feed the trolls who say JSF is too complex,
so let me start by saying we'll add something like this to satisfy your
request (this doesn't exist yet, but is trivial to implement)
facesContext.getApplication.getResourceHandler().getRequestPath("image.jpg",
"library");
In lieu of this, you must do the following:
ResourceHandler rh = facesContext.getApplication.getResourceHandler();
Resource r = rh.createResource("image.jpg", "library");
rh.getRequestPath();
I know, it's horribly complex and would by much simpler in Wicket, but,
hey, at least you can do it. Oh, wait, Wicket doesn't have a resources
feature. Hmm.
