I have a CustomControl which has fields with values of a Java object (getters and setters).

I pass this object to the custom control via composite data,

This Object (company) which i pass is not a managed bean (but the Object 'managedBean' 'who holds it, actually is..)

<xc:customcontrol databean="#{managedBean.company}"></xc:customcontrol>......

In the CustomControl itself, the "company" object is declared as "object", but in fact its always an object of a class "com.app.Company".. when i declare it as an "object", it works fine, but when i set the "com.app.Company" as a type, it doesn't work (compiling error).. 

When i pass it as an "object", i think Reflection is going to happen, thich will cause some performance issues.. Is there any better practice? I had a look to DataContexts, but that also involves some performance issues...

Any hints?
