- All Superinterfaces:
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 new Unified EL
API.

- 1.2
