How to get event source in phaselistener

Question

Hello:
Is there a way to get the event source in the phaselistener ? I need to get the acion / action listener method name that will be executed for the current request in the phaselistener. Any pointers will be really helpful.
thanks and regards,

Try:
JSF<h:commandButton action="#{myBean.actionMethodName}" value="submit" />PhaseListenerpublic void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event) {
    if (event.getPhaseId() == PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION) {
        FacesContext context = event.getFacesContext();
        Set componentIds = context.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().keySet();
        String action = null;
        for (Iterator componentId = componentIds.iterator(); componentId.hasNext();) {
            UIComponent component = context.getViewRoot().findComponent((String) componentId.next());
            if (component instanceof UICommand) {
                action = ((UICommand) component).getAction().getExpressionString();
                break;
        // action = #{myBean.actionMethodName}
}or:
JSF<h:commandButton action="#{myBean.actionMethodName}" value="submit">
    <f:attribute name="method" value="actionMethodName" />
</h:commandButton>PhaseListenerpublic void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event) {
    if (event.getPhaseId() == PhaseId.INVOKE_APPLICATION) {
        FacesContext context = event.getFacesContext();
        Set componentIds = context.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().keySet();
        String method = null;
        for (Iterator componentId = componentIds.iterator(); componentId.hasNext();) {
            UIComponent component = context.getViewRoot().findComponent((String) componentId.next());
            if (component instanceof UICommand) {
                method = (String) component.getAttributes().get("method");
                break;
        // method = actionMethodName
}
