      • parseEventExpression

        public static java.lang.Object[] parseEventExpression​(Component comp,
                                                      java.lang.String evtexpr,
                                                      Component defaultComp,
                                                      boolean deferred)
                                               throws ComponentNotFoundException
        Pares the event expression.

        There are several formats for the event expression:

        • onClick
        • self.onClick
        • id.onClick
        • ../id1/id2.onClick
        • ${elexpr}.onClick
        Parameters:
        comp - the component that the event expression is referenced to
        evtexpr - the event expression.
        defaultComp - the default component which is used when evtexpr doesn't specify the component.
        deferred - whether to defer the conversion of the path to a component. If true and EL not specified or evaluated to a string, it returns the path directly rather than converting it to a component.
        Returns:
        a two element array. The first element is the component if deferred is false or EL is evaluated to a component, or a path, otherwise. The second component is the event name.
        Throws:
        ComponentNotFoundException

        The basic format:
        onEvent1=id1/id2.onEvent2,onEvent3=id3.onEvent4

        See ComponentInfo.setForward(java.lang.String) for more information.
