package br.eti.faces.el;

import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

public final class Browser {

    public static String name() {
        FacesContext context=FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        HttpServletRequest request=
           (HttpServletRequest)context.getExternalContext().
               getRequest();
        String useragent= request.getHeader("user-agent");
        useragent=useragent.toLowerCase();
        if (useragent.indexOf("opera")!=-1)
            return "opera";
        if (useragent.indexOf("netscape")!=-1)
            return "netscape";
        if (useragent.indexOf("msie")!=-1)
            return "ie";
        if (useragent.indexOf("firefox")!=-1)
            return "firefox";
    return "";
    }
}


You can register the function above on facelets by adding the piece of xml code below in a file named browser.taglib.xml

[cc lang="xml"]
