autocomplete select listener

[zeroshade]

Hi everyone, I would like to use a method in rich:autocomplete component much the same way like ValueChangeListener, the problem is that I cannot submit the form in order for the Listener to get fired, that's why I wanted to ask you how could I intercept an event in order to execute a Listener in my backing bean. I have tried this:

<rich:autocomplete id="autocompleteOficina"
                            value="#{agenciaDM.oficinaSeleccionada}" converter="entityConverter"
                            autocompleteList="#{suggestionEntitiesDM.availableEntitiesList(suggestionEntitiesDM.oficina)}"
                            var="oficina" fetchValue="#{oficina.label}" showButton="true"
                            >
                            <a4j:ajax event="change" listener="#{oficinaController.empresaSearchSelectedListener}"></a4j:ajax>
                            <rich:column>
                                <h:outputText value="#{oficina.label}" />
                            </rich:column>
                            
                        </rich:autocomplete>

I have also tried the select event, but no one executed the Listener, why is it not fired?.
