Problem with InputNumberSlider ValueChangeListener

[ronanf]

I might not have understood the correct function of the InputNumberSlider's ValueChangeListener however I cannot get the slider to poll the sever with the new value 'on slide'. Only when I press enter on the input field.

jsf:

<f:view>
 <h:form>
 <rich:inputNumberSlider value="#{RedactionManagedBean.selectedPage}"
 minValue="1"
 maxValue="20"
 valueChangeListener="#{RedactionManagedBean.listener}"
 enableManualInput="false"
 width="400px"
 id="pageSlider">
 </rich:inputNumberSlider>
 </h:form>
</f:view>

bean:

 public void listener(ValueChangeEvent event) {
 System.out.println(event.getSource());
 }

I have tried in both session and request scope. Although again, I may have missinterpreted the function of the slider?

Thanks,

Hello,

valueChangeListener is server-side event. It is generated after browser request is processed by the server (of course, for the case of changed value). rich:inputNumberSlider is a pure client-side component; like any input it doesn't cause interaction with the server itself.

You can add a4j:support so that it will send AJAX requests to the server in response to some browser-side user activity or you can use a4j:commandButton. Everything depends on the application logic.
