ICEFaces actions against actionListener

Question

I do not understand the difference between these two methods. I see that the actionListener accepts an ActionEvent as a parameter, but both can be bound to a method in the bean base.

Is the only functional difference to the ActionEvent parameter? So if I need an ActionEvent to use the listener method, if not, will it work?

Answer 1

actionListener takes an ActionEvent as a parameter and returns void. The action takes no parameters and returns a string that can be used for navigation.
