[jsr-314-open] Method signatures for event handlers

Consulting the specification for f:event (http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/2.0/docs/pdldocs/facelets/f/ev...), I find that the signature is required to match public void listener(javax.faces.event.ComponentSystemEvent event) throws javax.faces.event.AbortProcessingException. That's actually too bad. When I do a preRenderView event with viewParams, I don't need the CSE parameter, and I'd rather not couple my managed bean with the JSF API. So, it sure would be nice if I had the flexibility of using the signature public void listener() instead. Mojarra actually lets me do that! I am asking here and not in the Mojarra forum because I am hoping that the f:event spec isn't accurate--it has other issues (https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=586, https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=639, https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=712) Did you discuss this before? Does Mojarra implement what was intended? Thanks, Cay -- Cay S. Horstmann | http://horstmann.com | mailto:cay@horstmann.com
