a4j:support event=

[fernando_jmt]

Hi.
I have a page which contains something like:

...
 <h:inputText id="firstName" value="#{userInstance.firstName}"
 maxlength="80" tabindex="4" styleClass="input">
 <a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="userListId" requestDelay="1000"
 actionListener="#{userList.search}"/>
 </h:inputText>



 <h:inputText id="lastName" value="#{userInstance.lastName}"
 maxlength="80" tabindex="5" styleClass="input">
 <a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="userListId" requestDelay="1000"
 actionListener="#{userList.search}"/>
 </h:inputText>
..

If I write something in the inputTexts, then the backing bean is called. But, if I press Alt+tab in order to jump to another application in the desktop, I can see that the ajax request is sent to server, but I did not write anything in such input fields (it also happens, if the inputs are empty).
My question is: Is this the correct behaviour? or am I missing some configuration?


Thanks in advance.

a4j:support uses the available events to bind with. If browser does not invoke onkeyup when you press Alt-Tab, do not expect that browser magically starts to do so when a4j:support is mentioned.
In you case, you need to add additional a4j:support event="onblur" if you want to produce ajax request not only when the text in the field is changed, but when the input focus is out.
However, if you want to have a request only if field value is changed, but not on any onblur, use a4j:support event="onchange"
