Deprecated. This has been replaced by `MethodExpression`.

    public abstract class MethodBinding

extends Object

MethodBinding is an object that can be used to call an arbitrary public method, on an instance that is acquired by evaluatng the leading portion of a method binding expression via a `ValueBinding`. An immutable `MethodBinding` for a particular method binding expression can be acquired by calling the `createMethodBinding()` method of the `Application` instance for this web application.

Constructor Summary
`MethodBinding()` Deprecated.

`abstract Class` | `getType(FacesContext context)` Deprecated. Return the Java class representing the return type from the method identified by this method binding expression.
`abstract Object` | `invoke(FacesContext context, Object[] params)` Deprecated. Return the return value (if any) resulting from a call to the method identified by this method binding expression, passing it the specified parameters, relative to the specified `FacesContext`.

    `MethodNotFoundException` - if no suitable method can be found
    `NullPointerException` - if `context` is `null`

### getExpressionString
