public interface ActionSource2 extends ActionSource
ActionSource2 extends
ActionSource
and provides a JavaBeans property analogous to the "action
" property onActionSource
. The difference is the type of this property is aMethodExpression
rather than aMethodBinding
. This allows theActionSource
concept to leverage the new Unified EL API.- Since:
- 1.2

getActionExpression
MethodExpression getActionExpression()
Return the
MethodExpression
pointing at the application action to be invoked, if thisUIComponent
is activated by the user, during the Apply Request Values or Invoke Application phase of the request processing lifecycle, depending on the value of theimmediate
property.Note that it's possible that the returned
MethodExpression
is just a wrapper around aMethodBinding
instance whith was set by a call toActionSource.setAction(javax.faces.el.MethodBinding)
. This makes it possible for the defaultActionListener
to continue to work properly with older components.

setActionExpression
void setActionExpression(MethodExpression action)
Set the
MethodExpression
pointing at the appication action to be invoked, if thisUIComponent
is activated by the user, during the Apply Request Values or Invoke Application phase of the request processing lifecycle, depending on the value of theimmediate
