Intercept all actionListener methods

Question

Hi every body,
Is there a way to intercept actionListener methods ?
ex:
I have
<h:commandLink actionListener="#{mb.actionListener}" value="link" />
In my faces-config.xml I have :
<application>
<action-listener>ca.test.util.security.SecurityActionListner</action-listener>
</application>
The method mb.actionListener is allways excuted before the SecurityActionListner.processAction method, thus I can't intercept it.

Thank you all for your answers :)
My action listener is declared as bellow :
public String actionToDo(){
  LoggingUtils.logAndReturnMessage("ManagedBean.actionToDo",LoggingUtils.INFO);
public void actionTest(ActionEvent e){
          LoggingUtils.logAndReturnMessage("ManagedBean.actionTest",LoggingUtils.INFO);
     }And the SecurityActionListener :
public class SecurityActionListner implements ActionListener{
      private ActionListener parent;
      public SecurityActionListner(ActionListener parent) {
              this.parent=parent;
     public void processAction(ActionEvent event) throws AbortProcessingException {
          // I would like to filter the access to the action listeners or value change events here
          LoggingUtils.logAndReturnMessage("SecurityActionListner.SecurityActionListner",LoggingUtils.INFO);
          parent.processAction(event);
}But the problem here is that actionToMe(ActionEvent e) is allways executed before SecurityActionListner.processAction(ActionEvent event) . The web server console shows me the following text :
Whene I execut ManagedBean.actionTest I have :
INFO : ManagedBean.actionTest
INFO : SecurityActionListner.SecurityActionListnerAs you can see it's impossible to intercept and for exemple deny access to ManagedBean.actionTest because it's executed befor the action listener/
And whene I execute ManagedBean.actionToDo I have :
INFO : SecurityActionListner.SecurityActionListner
INFO : ManagedBean.actionToDoThanks
