Dynamic <p:menu> implementation

[smallya]

Hi
I am trying to replace a <p:fieldset> implementation with a <p:menu> implementation so I can arrange the UI better. Here is what I am trying to do

My fieldset implementation

<p:fieldset legend="Filter" toggleable="true" collapsed="true">
<div id="foyo-category-filter">
<ul style="width:100%" >
<ui:repeat value="#{shoppingController.categories}" var="category">
<li style="width:20%">
<h:outputText styleClass="ui-icon ui-icon-gear foyo-icon-prefix" value=""/>
<p:commandLink value="#{category.categoryName}" update="productGridPanel,categoryFilterPanel" actionListener="#{shoppingController.clearProductFilter}">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{category}" target="#{shoppingController.selectedCategory}" />
</p:commandLink>
</li>
</ui:repeat>
</ul>
</div>
</p:fieldset>

and on the managedbean side I am using a simple

public List<Category> getCategories() {
return ejbCategoryFacade.findAll();
}

With the menu based implementation

it will change to

<p:menu model="#{shoppingController.categoryMenu}"/>

the managed bean side will be

public MenuModel getCategoryMenuModel(){
if (categoryMenu == null) {
categoryMenu = new DefaultMenuModel();
for (Category category : ejbCategoryFacade.findAll()){
MenuItem item = new MenuItem();
item.setValue(category.getCategoryName());
item.setUrl("#");
categoryMenu.addMenuItem(item);
}
return categoryMenu;
}
return categoryMenu;
}

I am having some challenges implementing the ActionListeners (marked in red)
For the ActionListener (actionListener="#{shoppingController.clearProductFilter}) I can do

item.setActionListener(new ActionListener(...));

but for the <f:setPropertyActionListener> I am not sure the same would work. The MenuItem seems to support multiple ActionListeners. Has anyone tried this and point me to the right way to implement this.

Appreciate your help.
