hi..
Does JSF has action calss like the Action class at Struts?
thanks

Not exactly. A JSF backing bean is sort of a cross between an Action and a Form Bean. In other words, you put the action code in the same JavaBean that the data normally resides in. Which is more OOP-like.

You can use ActionEvent to retrieve the current PhaseId, the LifeCycleImpl and the originating UIComponent.

JSF

<h:commandButton value="submit" actionListener=#{myBean.action}" />

MyBean

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