public interface ActionSource2 extends ActionSource
ActionSource2 extends ActionSource
and provides a JavaBeans property analogous to the
"action
" property on ActionSource
. The difference is the type of this property is a
MethodExpression
rather than a MethodBinding
. This allows the ActionSource
concept
to leverage the Jakarta Expression Language API.

void |
setActionExpression(MethodExpression action)

MethodExpression getActionExpression()
Return the MethodExpression
pointing at the application action to be invoked, if this UIComponent
is
activated by the user, during the Apply Request Values or Invoke Application phase of the request
processing lifecycle, depending on the value of the immediate
property.
Note that it's possible that the returned MethodExpression
is just a wrapper around a
MethodBinding
instance whith was set by a call to ActionSource.setAction(jakarta.faces.el.MethodBinding)
. This makes it possible
for the default ActionListener
to continue to work properly with older components.
void setActionExpression(MethodExpression action)
Set the MethodExpression
pointing at the appication action to be invoked, if this UIComponent
is
activated by the user, during the Apply Request Values or Invoke Application phase of the request
processing lifecycle, depending on the value of the immediate
property.
Any method referenced by such an expression must be public, with a return type of String
, and accept no
parameters.
