eclipse plugin:How to call actionSet with actionID

Now I want to call an actionset which is defined in another plugin,I already have the actionId,But I don't know how to call it.

Here is the actionset:

<action
           class="com.src.action1"
           icon="action1.png"
           id="com.src.action1"
           label="action1"
           style="push"
           toolbarPath="new.ext">
</action>

I know that I can call command by commandId like this :

IHandlerService handlerService = 
 PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getService(IHandlerService.class);
            handlerService.executeCommand(COMMANDID, null);

So I want to know if the toolbar button is defined by actionSet,can I call it like command by actionId?

Actions are only connected to a command if they have a definitionId parameter. For example this action from the JDT plugin: 

<action
     allowLabelUpdate="true"
     style="toggle"
     toolbarPath="org.eclipse.ui.edit.text.actionSet.presentation/Presentation"
     id="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.edit.text.java.toggleMarkOccurrences"
     definitionId="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.edit.text.java.toggleMarkOccurrences"
     disabledIcon="$nl$/icons/full/dtool16/mark_occurrences.png"
     icon="$nl$/icons/full/etool16/mark_occurrences.png"
     helpContextId="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.toggle_mark_occurrences_action_context"
     label="%toggleMarkOccurrences.label"
     retarget="true"
     tooltip="%toggleMarkOccurrences.tooltip">
</action>

In this example the command id is org.eclipse.jdt.ui.edit.text.java.toggleMarkOccurrences. So you would execute it using:

handlerService.executeCommand("org.eclipse.jdt.ui.edit.text.java.toggleMarkOccurrences", null);

If there is no definitionId parameter the action is not associated with a command and you cannot call it through the handler service.
