Defining multiple eventBindings

While working on specific use case, came across scenario where I had to define separate Contextual Events for different button's on a page.

Story in nutshell, a page is having two command buttons, each one should trigger Contextual Event with different payloads. Unfortunately 'Contextual Event' editor was not letting me to generate two event bindings.[Please note that this issue is rectified in latest internal builds, hopefully next public release may have this fix] So I went ahead and created this binding manually. I'm just sharing the manual binding tat I created here. I hope this may help you if you face similar issues during development.

JSF tags may look like as shown below

<af:commandButton text="commandButton 1" id="cb1"
  actionListener="#{bindings.eventBinding1.listener.processAction}"/>
<af:commandButton text="commandButton 2" id="cb2"
  actionListener="#{bindings.eventBinding2.listener.processAction}"/>

Page definition file may look like as shown below

  <bindings>
    <eventBinding id="eventBinding1"
                  Listener="javax.faces.event.ActionListener">
      <events xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/contextualEvent">
        <event name="Event1" customPayLoad="Test1" eventType="Action Event"/>
      </events>
    </eventBinding>
    <eventBinding id="eventBinding2"
                  Listener="javax.faces.event.ActionListener">
      <events xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/contextualEvent">
        <event name="Event2" customPayLoad="Test2" eventType="Action Event"/>
      </events>
    </eventBinding>
  </bindings>
