I believe we only have a "menu" component and no "actionMenu" component
exists.
There seems to be a bug with the tld doc example.
EventExpression/EventListenerExpressions are similar to
actionExpression/actionListenerExpressions
but they have a value associated with the "action". In this case, it is
the selected option of the menu.
But, actionExpression/actionListenerExpression did not work with
facelets and hence, people used the deprecated
action/actionListener attributes instead. Since the
action/actionListener attributes were already deprecated with jsf1.2 and
actionExpression/actionListenerExpression were introduced, we just went
ahead with providing eventExpression/eventListenerExpression attributes.
I guess if we had had something like "event"/"eventListener" equivalent
attributes, then that would have served the purpose for facelets until
that particular bug with facelets had been fixed.
