You can choose between 2 tags to create the menu tree:
a) <t:navigationMenuItem itemLabel="..." action="..." />
This tag creates an UINavigationMenuItem component. Perfect, this one
could be passed to the ActionListener
b) <t:navigationMenuItems value="#{...}>
where the value binds a List of NavigationMenuItem(s) (remember a
NavigationMenuItem is not a component). As no component will be
generated for a NavigationMenuItem in the render phase, the only
component that can be passed to the ActionListener is the menu itself.
