You cannot use a getter for "action". That isn't how it works.
The method *is* the action. You cannot do:
public MethodBinding getAction()
... you must do:
public String action()
... which could be implemented along the lines of:
public String action()
{
MethodBinding action = getAction();
if (action == null) return null;
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Object retVal = action.invoke(context, null);
if (retVal == null)
return null;
return retVal.toString();
}

I should have specified, but the getter for menuItem.action returns a
javax.faces.el.MethodBinding . Are you saying that no action can be bound to
a getter that returns a MethodBinding?
