public class MethodExpressionActionListener extends java.lang.Object implements ActionListener, StateHolder
 MethodExpressionActionListener is an ActionListener that wraps a
 MethodExpression. When it receives a ActionEvent, it executes a method on an object identified by the
 MethodExpression.

public MethodExpressionActionListener()
public MethodExpressionActionListener(MethodExpression methodExpressionOneArg)
 Construct a ValueChangeListener that
 contains a MethodExpression. To accomodate method expression targets that
 take no arguments instead of taking an ActionEvent argument, the implementation of this class must
 take the argument methodExpressionOneArg, extract its expression string, and create another
 MethodExpression whose expected param types match those of a zero argument method. The usage
 requirements for both of these MethodExpression instances are described in
 processAction(jakarta.faces.event.ActionEvent).
 
methodExpressionOneArg - a MethodExpression that points to a method that returns void
 and takes a single argument of type ActionEvent.public MethodExpressionActionListener(MethodExpression methodExpressionOneArg, MethodExpression methodExpressionZeroArg)
public void processAction(ActionEvent actionEvent) throws AbortProcessingException
 Call through to the MethodExpression passed in
 our constructor. First, try to invoke the MethodExpression passed to the
 constructor of this instance, passing the argument ActionEvent as the argument. If a
 MethodNotFoundException is thrown, call to the zero argument MethodExpression derived from the
 MethodExpression passed to the constructor of this instance. If that
 fails for any reason, throw an AbortProcessingException, including the cause of the failure.
