rich:autocomplete valueChangeListener not triggered

[fred-at-coding]

Hi,

  I'm still trying to make running the <rich:autocomplete> component, with the ability to catch any changes, on user selection.

I've done this:

<rich:autocomplete    id="autocompleteInput"

                      autocompleteMethod="#{AuthorController.autocompleteSearchEditor}"

                      showButton="false"

                      mode="cachedAjax"

                      attached="true"

                      minChars="2"

                      autoFill="true"

                      layout="table"

                      var="autocomplete_editor"

                      value="#{AuthorController.currentEditBook.teditor.name}"

                      fetchValue="#{autocomplete_editor.name}"

                      valueChangeListener="#{AuthorController.selectInputValueChanged}"

                      >

...

</rich:autocomplete>

The AuthorController bean is like this:

@ManagedBean( name="AuthorController" )

@SessionScoped

public class AuthorController {

...

     public void selectInputValueChanged(ValueChangeEvent event)

      {

        syslog.info("[AuthorController-selectInputValueChanged] - new event seen !");

      }

}

My main problem is that whenever I make a change in my selection or else, never the "valueChangeListener" is called. (no log entry found...)

Where am I wrong ?

I've also tried with some <a4j:ajax listener=""/> but i've got the same issue.

Thanks,

Fred

is rich:autocomplete surrounded by h:form? . this is required in order for valuechangelistener to work or you can use a4j:support

[fred-at-coding]

Hi,

yes it's surrounded by h:form.

And i'm using RichFaces 4, so a4j:support is not available for me.

I found that this listener is triggered when the 'form' is submitted.

So I can close this topic.
