Found the answer: MethodBinding mb = new SimpleActionMethodBinding(action) - action will be the string - essentially the outcome.

Following code will do it: if (UIComponentTag.isValueReference (action)) { ((ActionSource) component).setAction(FacesContext .getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createMethodBinding( action, new Class[] {})); } The problem that I am facing is that I have a HtmlCommandNavigationItem which extends org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlCommandLink I need to do something like: <t:commandNavigation2 id="id5_1" action="changepassword"> <h:outputText value="#{msg['nav.changepassword']}" /> </t:commandNavigation2> Here the action attribute is set to a string which is not a method name. This string is defined as an outcome in faces-config.xml. I need to set this action attribute programmatically but the only method available is setAction(MethodBinding mb) Since this string is not a method I cannot use this method. I could not find any other way to handle this. Does anyone know how to set the action attribute to a string which is not a method programmatically?
