Trouble setting action on RichCommandToolbarButton from bean

Question

I’m creating RichCommandToolbarButton from java bean. The issue I’m running into is setting action on the button.
I expected RichCommandToolbarButton to work like other UIXCommand, RichCommandLink for example. But it does not. Doing the following does not work on RichCommandToolbarButton (and again, does work on RichCommandLink):
RichCommandToolbarButton button = new RichCommandToolbarButton();
String expr = ="#{backingBeanScope.MyBean.doSomething"
MethodExpression me = getExpressionFactory().createMethodExpression(getElContext(), expr, String.class, new Class[]{});
button.setActionExpression(me);
The ONLY way I’m able to set action on RichCommandToolbarButton is the following:
buttonn.addActionListener( new DoSomething() );
where
private static class DoSomething implements ActionListener
public DoSomething ()
public void processAction(ActionEvent actionEvent)
String expr = ="#{backingBeanScope.MyBean.doSomething"
MethodExpression me = getExpressionFactory().createMethodExpression(getElContext(), expr, String.class, new Class[]{});
button.setActionExpression(me);
I really want to set the button's action based on an expression and doing it this way seems very unexpected to me.... Is this the known and expected way that RichCommandToolbarButtons work?

This is a way you can try , kind of a mixed approach-

See section Adding Action and Action Listener to a command component
RichCommandMenuItem menuPage1 = new RichCommandMenuItem();
menuPage1.setId("page1");
menuPage1.setText("Page 1");
menuPage1.setActionExpression(getMethodExpression("page1"));
RichCommandButton button = new RichCommandButton();
button.setValueExpression("disabled",getValueExpression("#{!bindings."+item+".enabled}"));
button.setId(item);
button.setText(item);
MethodExpression me = getMethodExpression("#{bindings."+item+".execute}");
button.addActionListener(new MethodExpressionActionListener(me));
footer.getChildren().add(button);
