Any way to call HtmlTree.setAdviseNodeOpened() without using

[grundor]

I am creating a rich tree dynamically from code.

I need to be able to set an AdviseOpened and AdviseSelected callback for the tree.

The apis HtmlTree.setAdviseOpened() and setAdviseSelected() both take MethodBinding's. However this has been deprecated...

Is there a way to call these APIs using a MethodExpression?

What is recommended way to use these APIs?

Thanks,
Mark

To solve this I created a Method Binding implementation:

import javax.faces.el.MethodBinding;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.el.MethodExpression;
import javax.el.MethodInfo;

public class MyMethodBinding extends MethodBinding implements java.io.Serializable
{
 private static final long serialVersionUID = -3492518451005895022L;
 private MethodExpression expression;

 public MyMethodBinding(MethodExpression expr) {
 this.expression = expr;
 }

 public Class getType(FacesContext context) {
 MethodInfo info = expression.getMethodInfo(context.getELContext());
 return info.getReturnType();
 }

 public Object invoke(FacesContext context, Object[] params) {
 return this.expression.invoke(context.getELContext(), params);
 }

 public String getExpressionString() {
 return this.expression.getExpressionString();
 }
}

Then in the code to create the tree create a MethodExpression first, then use that expression to instantiate MyMethodBinding and pass that to HtmlTree.setAdviseNodeOpened().

 tree.setAdviseNodeOpened(new MyMethodBinding(expFactory.createMethodExpression(
 FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext(),
 "#{navigationAction.adviseNodeOpened}", Boolean.class,
 new Class[]{UITree.class})));

Sorry for the post - but hopefully this will help someone else out in future.
