How do I set actionListeners in code

[seb petterson]

If in java code of a managed bean I have:

HtmlCommandLink commandLink = (HtmlCommandLink)
app.createComponent(HtmlCommandLink.COMPONENT_TYPE);

And in the same bean thres a methdo:

public void setSortOrder(ActionEvent event) {
...
}

What is the java code for setting setSortOrder as an actionListener on the commandLink object?

Thanks.

I think it's like this..

MethodBinding mb = context.getApplication().createMethodBinding("YourBean.setSortOrder", null);
commandLink .setActionListener(mb);

Thank you, that is what I thought too. But a javax.faces.el.MethodNotFoundException is thrown. It says it can't find the method setSortOrder() in the class. Which is correct since setSortOrder takes an ActionEvent, that is setSortOrder(ActionEvent ae) is defined, but not setSortOrder().

What am I doing wrong, setSortOrder should take an ActionEvent right, since it's an an action listener, right?

Ok, solved it, this is the code that worked:

Class [] c = new Class[1];
c[0] = ActionEvent.class;
MethodBinding mb = app.createMethodBinding("#{myBean.setSortOrder}",c);
...
