Xpages: display the name of a custom control in a custom control

In an xpage I can get the name of the xpage by using 

var path:string = facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest().getRequestURI()
return session.evaluate("@RightBack(\"" + path + "\"; \"/\")").get(0)

(that really is using the path to get the url).

I would like to get the name of the custom control but I think that this is not possible?

this.getPageName() gives you the name of custom control name on custom control's main level. Write name into dataContext "name" and use it inside your custom control:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xp:view
    xmlns:xp="http://www.ibm.com/xsp/core">
    <xp:this.dataContexts>
        <xp:dataContext
            value="#{javascript:this.getPageName()}"
            var="name">
        </xp:dataContext>
    </xp:this.dataContexts>
    <xp:text
        escape="true"
        id="computedField1"
        value="#{name}">
    </xp:text>
    ab
</xp:view>
