Programmatically creating command buttons problem

[Jeroen Verhagen]

Hi all,

I'm working on a custom ViewHandler like is presented in Hans Bergsten
JSF book chapter 15.
For that I need to programmatically create a command button. I have
buttons that need method bindings to talk to method in my managed
beans. But I also need command buttons that simply return a String
value, for example "cancel" like this in JSP:

              <h:commandButton
                  value="Cancel"
                  action="cancel"/>



using this code:

    UICommand command = new UICommand();
    command.setValue("Cancel");
    MethodBinding action = application.createMethodBinding("cancel", null);
    command.setAction(action);

but I get this exception: javax.faces.el.ReferenceSyntaxException: cancel
I know that cancel is not really a method but I don't know what other
method to call set the command button to return the String "cancel".

Anybody any idea?

Thanks and regards,

Jeroen
