Calling a Link target from server-side code

[Davide Vecchi]

Hi everybody,

This is the scenario:

I am in a component, and I have a string that contains an event name, f.ex.

                String eventName = "myEvent";

(but in reality it's not a constant).

So I also have a server-side event handler method for that event (in another 
component or in a page):

                public boolean onMyEvent()
                {
                                // Do stuff
                }

I use that string to create a Link object:

                Link link = componentResources.createEventLink(eventName);

Then I use that Link object as the href for some client-side elements, which 
when clicked cause my server-side event handler to get called.

This is all OK.

However I would also like to call that event handler programmatically, from my 
server side code, not in response to a client-side user action.

What is the proper way to go about that ?
