Hi Sorry for the late response. The problem is jsp uses UICommand.setActionListener method, but in facelets things are different.
Look this class: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/myfaces/core/trunk/impl/src/main/java/org/apache/myfaces/view/facelets/tag/jsf/ActionSourceRule.java If the target is instance of ActionSource, setActionListener is used, but if is ActionSource2, the listener is added through addActionListener and use a wrapper (javax.faces.event.MethodExpressionActionListener). The problem is there is no underlying MethodBinding in this case. The solution could be create a custom ComponentTagHandlerDelegate with a special rule for ActionSource. I think it is the right moment to get the EL expression. regards, Leonardo 2011/2/7 Rudy De Busscher <[email protected]> > Hi all, > > For an ExtVal-addon I need to have access to the expression string of the > actionListener property of a command button. > > So when i have > *<h:commandButton id="check" value="Validate" > actionListener="#{personBean.someActionListener}"/>* > I need #{personBean.someActionListener}. > > In JSF 1.X, you could get the MethodBinding by calling > *actionCommand.getActionListener() * > but now it returns null. *The method is deprecated but maybe this is a bug > that the old behaviour isn't respected?* > > I can access the actionListener by calling > *actionCommand.getActionListeners()* > but then I get the interface object back and not the underlying > MethodBinding. > > Anyone an idea? > > Thx > Rudy. >
