Swing Action

Question

Hi,
Can anyone help me with Swing Action?
In my application main class, I am using Swing Actions.
This is sample code,
Action clearMeasure =
//code to create action we are using our own API which contains getAction(..)
//After creating action to put name and description
clearMeasure.putValue(Action.NAME, "Remove Measure");
clearMeasure.putValue(Action.SMALL_ICON,null);
//Menu Item is associated with this action
JMenuItem clear = new JMenuItem(clearMeasure);
removePopup.add(clear);
So when I add this action to menu item, every thing is working fine.
Now my problem is to call another method when this menu item is selected.
We are not using actionPerformed method and whenever we select menu items, these actions are generated.
So how can I call another method when this menu is selected? Where should I add the code to call method which doesn't contain actionPerformed()?
Is there any we can call methods in putValue()?
Thanks in advance

You can add another ActionListener to your menuitem. JMenuItem clear = new JMenuItem(clearMeasure);
clear.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
        //call some other methods
});
