Literal from value in setActionListener

Question

Hi,
This one should be easy. I have two tables on a jpx in ADF Faces. Each row in each of the tables has a command link in one or more cells. I would like to use an action listener to determine which table the command link is contained in. The simplest way to do this (so I thought) would be like this:
<af:commandLink text="#{row[def.name]}"
action="#{DispatchBean.commandLink_action}"
returnListener="#{DispatchBean.handleReturn}"
rendered="true" useWindow="true" windowHeight="650"
windowWidth="500">
<af:setActionListener from="table1"
to="#{DispatchBean.currentTable}"/>
</af:commandLink>
Unfortunately when I step through the code in the debugger, a null string is passed to my backing bean. I could use different action methods in the bean for each of the tables but I'd have to duplicate code and I thought it might prove handy to know the correct way to pass a literal to an action listener.
As always thanks for the help,
Jeff

It was easy. I found the solution looking through the SRDemo source for something unrelated. In case there is someone else out there trying to do the same thing, just wrap the literal in an EL and it works:
<af:commandLink text="#{row[def.name]}"
action="#{DispatchBean.commandLink_action}"
returnListener="#{DispatchBean.handleReturn}"
rendered="true" useWindow="true" windowHeight="650"
windowWidth="500">
<af:setActionListener from="#{'Some literal expression'}"
to="#{DispatchBean.currentTable}"/>
</af:commandLink>
I hope this helps someone,
Jeff
