Yes, from org.apache.myfaces.taglib.core.ActionListener

ActionListener al = (ActionListener)ClassUtils.newInstance(className);

and ClassUtils.newInstance is basically a wrapper for Class clazz.newInstance();

Well AFAICS you can't with f:actionListener as it stands - you have to use the actionListener attribute on the tag.

You could of course extend/create your own my:actionListener with, say, a value attribute, which would would then instantiate a Seam component (either via EL using the SeamVariableResolver or as Gavin mentioned above).
