Programatically creating Hyperlinks (c2ea2)

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to add a set of links to a Breadcrumb on my jsf page, but I want the links that appear in the Breadcrumb to be dynamically generated, based on the user's navigation.
The documentation in Creator says that the links in the breadcrumb can be added by an array of Hyperlink objects. I can create the Hyperlink array and assign it to the Breadcrumb just fine, but I'm having problems trying to set the action of the Hyperlink.
Ideally, each link should return a differnet value, so the content of the page can change, but I'm not sure how to get this to work.
So far, I have something like this:
        Hyperlink[] crumbsTest = new Hyperlink[5];
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            Hyperlink hyperTmp = new Hyperlink();
            hyperTmp.setText("Link " + i);
            hyperTmp.setToolTip("Link " + i + " tooltip");
            //create the methodbind
            FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            MethodBinding mb = (MethodBinding) context.getApplication().createMethodBinding("#{Home.breadcrumbLinkTest_action}", null);
            hyperTmp.setAction(mb);
            crumbsTest[i] = hyperTmp;
        folderCrumbs.setPages(crumbsTest);Home is the backing bean of the page that this breadcrumb is on. When I run the application, and click on the links, nothing happens. The method I named there to be called will display a message in a static text field on the form.
Any help on getting this working will be greatly appreciated.

A workaround has been found for this issue.
The workaround is to replace the setPages call with folderCrumbs.getChildren().add(hyperTmp) to add the hyperlink as a child of BreadCrumbs. This will make the action handler to get invoked.
Hyperlink[] crumbsTest = new Hyperlink[5];
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            Hyperlink hyperTmp = new Hyperlink();
            hyperTmp.setText("Link " + i);
            hyperTmp.setToolTip("Link " + i + " tooltip");
            // Note, action does not work in Cerator 2
            //create the methodbind
            MethodBinding mb = (MethodBinding) this.getApplication().createMethodBinding("#{Page1.breadcrumbLinkTest_action}", null);
            hyperTmp.setAction(mb);
            crumbsTest[i] = hyperTmp;
            folderCrumbs.getChildren().add(hyperTmp);
        }Lark
