Quoting from http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=12&t=005186 Let say I have a backing bean MyBackingBean with action myAction and action listener myActionListener defined accoring to the JSF standard and a JSP page with JSF tags myPage.jsp. When editing myPage.jsp IntelliJ would recognize myAction in #{MyBackingBean.myAction} and when I click on it, it will take me to the source code of the method. However, it doesn't do it for myActionListener.
