Menus, Buttons and AbstractAction

Question

I am using the code below to create both a JMenuBar and JToolBar.
When I clcik on the Menu item "Cut", the println shows cmd: Cut, which is the value from NAME.
When I click on the ToolBar button, the println shows cmd: null. WHY?
Have I failed to do something to enable the event to show Cut?
Could there be a problem in the manner in which I create the JToolBar that initializes the NAME varibale to null?
The SHORT_DESCRIPTION works and the SMALL_ICON is displayed properly for the button.
private Action m_cut = new AbstractAction() {
{     putValue(NAME, "Cut");
     Icon icon = new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("pics/Cut24.gif"));
     putValue(SMALL_ICON, icon);
     putValue(SHORT_DESCRIPTION, "Cut selected object");
     putValue(MNEMONIC_KEY, new Integer(KeyEvent.VK_U));
     putValue(ACCELERATOR_KEY, KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
     KeyEvent.VK_X,InputEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK));
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
     System.out.println("example: " + evt.paramString());

Answer 1

Ok, learned a valuable lesson here. As a newbie, I should not have given up so easily, I only spent an hour trying to figure this out.
I just went back and played with ActionDemo from the Tutorial and it has the same result as I got, cmd: null, when you press a button.
So, this appears to be expected behaviour.
