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

MethodExpressionValueChangeListener(MethodExpression methodExpressionOneArg)
Construct a  
ValueChangeListener that contains a MethodExpression.To accommodate method expression targets
 that take no arguments instead of taking a ValueChangeEvent 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. |

public MethodExpressionValueChangeListener()
public MethodExpressionValueChangeListener(MethodExpression methodExpressionOneArg)
Construct a ValueChangeListener that contains a MethodExpression.To accommodate method expression targets
 that take no arguments instead of taking a ValueChangeEvent 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
 processValueChange(javax.faces.event.ValueChangeEvent).
methodExpressionOneArg - a MethodExpression
 that points to a method that returns void and takes
 a single argument of type ValueChangeEvent.public MethodExpressionValueChangeListener(MethodExpression methodExpressionOneArg, MethodExpression methodExpressionZeroArg)
Construct a ValueChangeListener that contains a MethodExpression.
methodExpressionOneArg - a method expression that takes one argumentmethodExpressionZeroArg - a method expression that takes zero argumentspublic void processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) 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 ValueChangeEvent 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.

Both MethodExpression
 instances described in the constructor must be saved.

Both MethodExpression
 instances described in the constructor must be restored.
