JSF2 composite component - condition on existenc method attribute

I have a simple composite component with an additional ajax listener implemented with the a4j component: ajax richfaces.

Here is the interface definition:

<!-- INTERFACE -->
<composite:interface name="inplaceInput">
    <composite:attribute name="value" required="true" />
    <composite:attribute name="render" default="@this" />
    <composite:attribute name="ajaxListener" method-signature="void actionListener(javax.faces.event.AjaxBehaviorEvent)" />
</composite:interface>

The following code works fine using two duplicated blocks with the opposite condition being displayed:

<composite:implementation>
    <rich:inplaceInput value="#{cc.attrs.value}" rendered="#{!empty cc.attrs.ajaxListener}">
        <a4j:ajax event="change" render="#{cc.attrs.render}" execute="@this" listener="#{cc.attrs.ajaxListener}" />
    </rich:inplaceInput>
    <rich:inplaceInput value="#{cc.attrs.value}" rendered="#{empty cc.attrs.ajaxListener}">
        <a4j:ajax event="change" render="#{cc.attrs.render}" execute="@this" />
    </rich:inplaceInput>
</composite:implementation>

But I would like to avoid duplication, because my component will be much more complicated ...

Using the rendered condition for a4j: ajax was my first idea:

<rich:inplaceInput value="#{cc.attrs.value}">
    <a4j:ajax event="change" render="#{cc.attrs.render}" execute="@this" listener="#{cc.attrs.ajaxListener}" rendered="#{!empty cc.attrs.ajaxListener}"  />
    <a4j:ajax event="change" render="#{cc.attrs.render}" execute="@this" rendered="#{empty cc.attrs.ajaxListener}" />
</rich:inplaceInput>

But this does not work, and the error is rather unclear:

javax.faces.FacesException: Unable to resolve composite component from using page using EL expression '#{cc.attrs.ajaxListener}'
at com.sun.faces.facelets.tag.TagAttributeImpl$AttributeLookupMethodExpression.invoke(TagAttributeImpl.java:444)
at org.ajax4jsf.component.behavior.MethodExpressionAjaxBehaviorListener.processAjaxBehavior(MethodExpressionAjaxBehaviorListener.java:73)

I tried using the c: if handler because the tree does not need to have both components:

<rich:inplaceInput value="#{cc.attrs.value}">
    <c:if test="#{!empty cc.attrs.ajaxListener}">
        <a4j:ajax event="change" render="#{cc.attrs.render}" execute="@this" listener="#{cc.attrs.ajaxListener}" />
    </c:if>
    <c:if test="#{empty cc.attrs.ajaxListener}">
        <a4j:ajax event="change" render="#{cc.attrs.render}" execute="@this" />
    </c:if>
</rich:inplaceInput>

And then another error appeared (using ajaxListener = "# {itemList.updateValue}"):

javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: /pages/itemList.xhtml @71,81 ajaxListener="#{itemList.updateValue}": Property 'updateValue' not found on type com...ItemListManager

EL, , . boolean, , ... componentType bean ... ...
