Re: Java MethodBinding syntax for Tomahawk Scheduler ScheduleMouseEvent

[Robert Patt-Corner <ro...@gmail.com>]

In reply to my own message, in case others find it useful.

Fairly straightforward (after weeks of research!) ... the constructor for a
method binding takes the class of the argument as an argument to the
constructor.  So do this:

Class args[] = {ScheduleMouseEvent.class};
MethodBinding clickBinding =
getFacesContext().getApplication().createMethodBinding("#{
myHandlerName.myClickHandlingMethod}", args);


Sigh.
