rich:calendar value is one step behind

[dustedrob]

Hi,

richfaces noob here.  Im using RichFaces 4.1.

Within my .xhtml i have defined a rich:calendar component like this:

<h:outputLabel value="#{bundle.CreateSolicitudesLabel_fechafinal}" for="fechafinal" />
                    <rich:calendar locale="es_MX" id="fechafinal" valueChangeListener="#{solicitudesBean.fechaValueChangeListener(event)}" value="#{solicitudesBean.solicitud.fechafinal}" datePattern="dd/MM/yyyy" required="true" requiredMessage="#{bundle.CreateSolicitudesRequiredMessage_fechafinal}">
                        <a4j:ajax/>
                    </rich:calendar>

And my backing bean for the valueChangeListener:

	public void fechaValueChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent event)
	{
	System.out.println("FECHA FINAL"+solicitud.getFechafinal());
	}

The problem is that the date value is not set the first time i select a date on the calendar and it will print out a null. On the following attempts, the date value will always be one step behind the currently selected value.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks for your help

Hi, Roberto

You should use event.getNewValue() for getting selected value:

public void fechaValueChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent event){

         System.out.println("FECHA FINAL"+ event.getNewValue());

}

Try remove (event) from #{solicitudesBean.fechaValueChangeListener(event)

It's work for me:

<h:form>

    <rich:calendar locale="es_MX" id="fechafinal"

                   valueChangeListener="#{bean.fechaValueChangeListener}"

                   value="#{bean.fechafinal}"

                   datePattern="dd/MM/yyyy" required="true">

        <a4j:ajax/>

    </rich:calendar>

</h:form>

public void fechaValueChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent event){

         System.out.println("FECHA FINAL"+ event.getNewValue());

}

I just tried that as well and it doesn't do anything. I'm using JSF 2.1 which i belive forces you to mark the parameters in the expression...
